Really? Shit. I'll have to check the definition. I don't really drink often, just when I do I usually like to make a night of it (that's the concise version of the nonsense above. )

Whoa, some deep and sincere entries. Best of luck to all who are fighting the battle. I've done my best to learn from my father's mistakes with regard to substance abuse and have somehow managed to steer clear of any recreational drug use and kept my drinking to a minimum. However, I definitely see how instant reward compulsion could very well be genetic. Much like my father did (who didn't live very long), I have a tendency to indulge excessively in all of my vices. The calorie-count on some of my meals would blow your mind and the act itself is such a strong compulsion that often times I don't even taste or enjoy the food I'm inhaling. I've been considering food addict counseling for years now. If it weren't for the thousands of hours at the gym I've spent in the last 9 years I'd literally be hundreds of pounds overweight, as it is now I'm about 35lbs overweight. In the last 6 or 7 weeks I've been very disciplined with regard to activity and it's been coupled with better eating habits, but there are still frequent moments of excessive scarfing that have slowed my progress. A net of 14 lbs lost including muscle gains in 6 or 7 weeks is better than nothing, but I could get to a healthy weight sooner if I could just park my appetite problem.
I am skinny and I don't know of any obese male relatives of mine (some females do/did show tendency, though), but I have some pretty visible fat losses/gains nowadays (easy come, easy go) and from what I observe, there are TWO things you need to do to lose: eat less, move more. Plain and simple. I could tell you what to do to eat less (discovered by accident, no drugs involved), but it's potentially dangerous and... well, no technical means will substitute for "satisfied mind".
I have a suspicion that if capitalism of today propagates physique of a hunter, it's to make people not just look like predators, but also feel like ones. From what I see around, it's moderately effective. Many "weekend runners" who eat the way other people use substances, then work out in their "free time" to expiate. As if they felt sorry for not being cut out for snatching.

I don't drink anymore but I am addicted to ice coffee - I was up to over two litres a day at one point and that shit is made to bring baby cows up to weight in a short time, not swamp a human digestive system.
No wonder I put on a few rolls this past year. When I start growing udders, I'll be able to produce my own.
The weed gets a bit chronic here though, as SA is one of the finest places in the world for ganja
