Rise in Hombrewing and Craft Beer Leading to Higher Alcoholism?

[hirambiram]

I suspect that the prevalence of alcoholism across the population hasn't noticed the advent of legal homebrewing. There's a recent thread that had some decent information. Take a look at the thread (especially my post) or the the NIH Rethinking Drinking web site if you are looking for clinically accurate information or resources on the topic.

Thank you. I checked out the thread and your post. Both were very helpful. I think I will take a month or so off of brewing and drinking in general, just to test myself. I will keep you all updated. Thank you all for your kind words and interest. Cheers.

Two homebrews a day (well, sometimes 3) 4 pm each day - its a religious experience . Totally controlled.

Good attitude. If you are concerned with your own drinking, taking a break from drinking is a great idea. Knowing your over-drinking triggers is the key if you succeed in it. Everyone ties one on every now and again, its more an issue if you find yourself having to get smashed every time you drink. I drink most days, but usually drink to enjoy the flavor and slight buzz. 2 beers a night and would do just one if it meant that or 4 BMC's. Hope it goes well and i commend you for being wary and wondering.
