How can that not sound like alcoholism?

I have seen people absolutely out of their minds after drinking nothing but beer. In fact, every weekend (no exaggeration whatsoever) I see people lying half-dead in public places, bicycles left in ditches when their drunk owners can no longer even push them home successfully, and on many occasions I have had to physically carry people in such a condition up several flights of stairs in an apartment building when they would pass out and hurt themselves trying to come home from partying. This kind of thing is unfortunately all too common in Finland, and I've never in my life seen a social epidemic like the drinking culture here. It really must be seen to be properly understood.
The OP has got a serious problem, and it's not going to be easy for him to stop since the culture here is all too supportive of this kind of behavior.
