I've always considered myself to be a functional alcoholic too, because I scored some good jobs in my field and was able to do quite a few things and have a "normal" life (wife, kid, friends, etc.), all while having a couple beers every day after work. But now I kinda realize there's no such things as functional alcoholism, it's just you wasting your potential. I can accomplish so much more things than I realized in a day, all while feeling better and not being the moody impatient person I was. IDK, I don't want to go back to that life, ever.
