Signs that you’ve had enough to drink

Back in the days, a person in his 20’s or 30’s can show up to work in the morning with hang over and a zingy alcohol-smelling breath but nobody cared. But when you reached your 40’s, people expect you to know who to pull yourself together so showing up at work smelling like beer and wine is a no-no.

Signs that you had enough alcohol

Apart from the embarrassing situation at the office, it is also not very nice for you to keep on drinking even though you already had enough. We all need to know when to stop. In case you don’t know the signs of when to stop, you may want to consider these pointers below:

1. You start making arguments about inanimate objects. Drank people usually talk non-sense and if you notice yourself also starting to talk nonsense, then it is a sign that you need to stop. Unless you are too drunk to notice – but let’s hope not!

2. You have to hold onto something to keep falling off. This is an obvious sign that you already had enough to drink. It is also a sign that you need someone to take you home. I hope you brought your friend along – and I hope he’s not as drunk as you are.

3. Instead of your drinking interfering with your job, your job now interferes your drinking. This is actually over the top. I bet you don’t even want to go back working anymore and you just want to date your bottle of wine. Stop there. You’ve had more than too much!

4. Your doctor finds signs of blood in your alcohol stream. Yes, that’s right. You are drinking too much that your blood is being replaced with alcohol.

5. Your head is hitting the toilet seat. Yeah, you look this awful when you drink too much. Time to change your drinking habit, don’t you think?

6. You sincerely and truly believe that alcohol is the fifth food group. And no doctor, nutritionist or any guru can make you change your mind.

7. You are drinking beer with one bottle on each hand. Oops! That is a severe drinking problem, dude.

8. You replace your dinner with just beer. You are counting calories of burger and find that beer has as much calories in it so you choose beer instead. Whoa!

9. When you go to AA meetings, you forget what to answer when they asked for your name. What the…

10. When someone tells you to cut back, you would think he’s referring to salt.
