Am I drinking too much?

I went through 750ML of Captain Morgan's in about 5 days over a 2 week period. I mixed it with coke of course. I broke up with my girlfriend about 2 months ago, and shes been moved out for about 3 weeks now. I drink sometimes, either beer or capt n coke. Am I drinking too much, or am I just doing fine?

I did the math, thats an average of 5 shots per day.

Seeing that you are single, I'd say you're doing fine!

Yes, you have a drinking problem.

First, you're drinking nasty liquor. No more Captain Morgan!

Second, you're mixing it with Coke, which shouldn't be mixed with anything, ever. No more Coke!

If I polish off a fifth of bourbon in a weekend, I'm usually drinking too much. Spreading it over two weeks would be hardly drinking at all.

So, third, stop doing math! You're no good at it.

Stick to beer. Get a new girlfriend, or at least get yourself laid. And lose the crap liquor!

Stop thinking, do what Oregone says. He speaketh the truth.
Plus it's only 3 shots a day not 5.

I thought a shot was 1oz, and it's 30ml per oz?

Ahh, 1.5oz per shot. See, I still must have some alcohol in me. Well, I will just have to drink beer instead. Capt is too expensive to be drinking at this rate anyhow.

I used to do 2/3rds of a 750ml bottle in a night so no you aren't drinking too much :P

For a good alternative to Captains (any alternative would be good) try Cruzan Dark Rum. It's like $12 a bottle and pretty damn tasty, not as tasty as their single barrel estate rum but a hell of a lot cheaper.

You aren't 'slurring' your prose, so you're probably OK.
But like Oregone said, you simply have to get yourself some better quality booze.

Well, booze selections is now open for conversation! I am getting some port soon, but I do not see myself getting drunk off of that.

Actually, I don't think it's even possible to get drunk on Port...
