i can't tell if i'm an alcoholic. i drink almost everyday and always to get drunk and pass out/fall asleep. i'm a better, more honest and creative person when drunk so i always strive for that. but every one tells me i should get help. i don't think it's that bad. any one relate?

Yes, you are an alcoholic.
if youre asking this question you probably know that answer. how long has it been since you last didn't drink?

Seek help anon. This isn't healthy at all. It's a drain on your financial resources, a drain on your mental resources (will start to damage your brain at some point), and a drain on your physical resources (will affect your health at some point)

You are 100% an alcoholic and I guarantee you're not a better person drunk
If you feel the need to drink when you wake up in the morning and continue to drink all day, then you are an alcoholic.
Getting drunk almost every night is borderline.
I drink at least 4 days per week but I never get "drunk"

If you are having negative consequences due to your drinking that's when you should quit. I used to pass out always too and then I was raped while passed out. I was virgin before that. I still didn't quit for years but I should have.
try not drinking for a day or two. if nothing happens, you're ok. if you start getting flu-like symptoms, become grouchy and irritable, or get the shakes, that's signs of withdrawal from alcohol. tag, you it!
(note: don't go cold turkey, it can cause major problems, but do get help anon.)
