I have a tendecy to drink too much when I go out, turn up late for work because of it, still drunk or serverly hungover. If I go out, I almost always drink when I go out, but never ever during the day. I don't hide alcohol for consumption when no one is looking, and don't lie to people about my drinking either.

I think you have a problem because you drink too much and its affecting your work. You have to decide whats more important to you: your future or drinking?

I'm pretty sure you can figure this one out on your own. If not, continue drinking.

Just cut back a bit.

Most students get pissed quite a lot and turn up to lectures or not bother :p lol.

Just go easy on it, so that you are not so pissed up.

The only reason you have a problem is because it is interfering with work. So you can cut the drinking back a bit. Try to have only a few the nights you have to work in the morning. You can still get a buzz just don't go all out. Or you can quit work. Eventually you will end up a bum on the streets with a sigh made out of a cardboard box saying will do anything for a buck. Well that's extreme and highly doubtful but you get my point.

Just take it easy on the booze the nights before work.

Of course you do. You clearly see it as a problem you want solved and it's affected your work, and undoubtedly other areas of your life (like health).

Clearly you don't feel in control of your drinking which in and of itself is proof you have a drinking problem.

You don't have an addiction, but you do have a problem with consumption, a consumption problem that may very well turn into an addiction. You have tendencies.

Maybe you should take some time away from drinking. Order juice or pop instead of a alcoholic drink.
 

Do you have any friends or family that have said anything (joking or not) about it?
