If you're having to rely on alcohol to wind down and relax then it's not healthy. It's a downwards spiral.

The OP has shown he works so he clearly has his life in order.

He is not relying on alcohol so people please don't put words into his mouth and make it come across like he's drowning sorrows

It's easier to point fingers and try criticise a person than actually allow a person to live their life as it suits them.

He is not displaying that its affecting his life some comments show how judgemental people can be goodness me

He said himself he is drinking more than he should. Not being judgemental, being factual. Too much drink is bad for you, every single person knows that.

enjoy OP no one has to live your stress but you.

Everyone chooses to do what gets them through their stresses of life

You sound like you are aware of yourself and probably do it from the comfort of your own home.

Some just find negativity in another's enjoyment although they don't contribute to your life or assist in anyway

He works, none of us know what he does for a living.

It's his own choice and he is not doing it because he's feeling low he's had a long week

That's how he chills out and he can do that.

I would be more concerned for a person doing it because they feel low or don't work and whenever they get money it goes on mainly alcohol

We don't get to dictate and its also Friday.

It's factual more people find it too easy and quick to criticise a person just for however they feel to enjoy an evening

I would rather that then a person on sniff and all these pills and balloons some people do

I have sensed the OP monitors it otherwise he wouldn't have known to tell us in the way he did.

He's told us he's chilling out and some on thread should do just that themselves 'chill out that doesn't include yourself

We don't and we shouldn't need to know in order to than be kind to a person.

That's why some humans don't like humans they carry too many bad traits that they don't want to lose.

People usually can't be kind or speak kind unless there's something in it for them or they feel attracted to a person.

There are a small few who are just kind regardless, it's in their nature also easy for them to be that way (unless of course if disrespected)

The fact you feel the need to even ask this question OP tells me that you already know the answer.

Lots of helpful advice regarding alcohol dependency can be found around if you need to talk to someone.

I can't answer that for you. If you think it's too much (which you say in your OP), then it's probably a sign you need to seek out other things and/or help. Alcohol can have negative long term health consequences.

I like a drink after work occasionally but only a couple at the most as I work early and don’t like to feel groggy.

But I do think it’s more the social aspect of being out with friends I like.

But I can go weeks sometimes without going out out…

That said I had a great night last night in Leeds. And probably had a few to many Rums

But that’s allowed right?

Personally I find exercise to be the best way to get rid of the day to day stresses.

Nowt beats a good weights or cardio session followed by half hour in the sauna. That work stress just melts away. It's one of the best anti depressants going!

Your curious to know why people need alcohol or a spliff after a day's work? Interesting

Someone who has a job and does their best to keep a job has life in order

What they do from the comforts of their own home is down to them even if they have shared what they are doing no one is in a position to criticise and dictate but yet people feel entitled to give their opinion what a world

He's not doing needles hard core drugs, I also didn't read his comment as guilt but everyone would interpret a message different from another

"….The OP has shown he works so he clearly has his life in order….

….Someone who has a job and does their best to keep a job has life in order…. "

You keep saying this as though someone who holds down a job couldn’t possibly have an alcohol problem. But it is possible, that’s why some are often referred to as functioning alcoholics (albeit more correctly known as Alcohol Use Disorder I think, these days).

Now I’m not saying if the OP has a drink problem - I don’t know him or his circumstances etc. BUT if you come onto a public forum and ask whether it’s ok to drink knowing that you drink too much you can see how people might assume that he’s in denial and/or worried about his drinking habits.

What I would say OP, is if you are at all concerned then speak to someone who knows what they are on about so you can get proper support and advice.

And if you’re not concerned and all is tickety boo, then you do you.

But maybe look for other ways to help switch off and chill out too. Variety is the spice of life!

The title of this thread " Is it so wrong to chillout after work"

He's not said he's worried about it so why are others speculating?

Those who really have alcohol problems are on park benches walking up and down the streets not holding down a job.

The title of the thread says to me someone away from here may be criticising the OP for having glasses of alcohol after a hard days work

It's not a crime and who is a person troubling if they are enjoying a few glasses? If they are d*unk texting getting abusive to others that's a different ball game

People just have too much to say on what others do just because its not what they themselves participate its sick

The text of the OP includes the words "drinking more than you know you should"

And no, people with alcohol problems are not all unemployed and homeless. That's a terrible stereotype and harmful to those with problems (which I'm not saying the OP has).

"Even if its means drinking more than you know you should "

Depends where what you “know” comes from?

Are you saying you drink more than the recommended amount daily, or are you saying you’re drinking more than you “should” based on your own lived experience?

Winding down after work isn’t a bad thing at all, if you NEED alcohol to wind down daily I’d say it’s a dependency issue. But that’s only my opinion, people can drink daily through choice and not have a dependency issue equally.

Disagree with the above, many people with alcohol problems have jobs and families it’s not about being homeless and park benches. Very stereotypical.

It’s a very subjective question and will get differing answers based on how much that person also drinks alcohol.

If you think your drinking more than you personally should, above what you believe are your own limits; there’s lots of places for support x

"….The OP has shown he works so he clearly has his life in order….

….Someone who has a job and does their best to keep a job has life in order….

You keep saying this as though someone who holds down a job couldn’t possibly have an alcohol problem. But it is possible, that’s why some are often referred to as functioning alcoholics (albeit more correctly known as Alcohol Use Disorder I think, these days).

Now I’m not saying if the OP has a drink problem - I don’t know him or his circumstances etc. BUT if you come onto a public forum and ask whether it’s ok to drink knowing that you drink too much you can see how people might assume that he’s in denial and/or worried about his drinking habits.

What I would say OP, is if you are at all concerned then speak to someone who knows what they are on about so you can get proper support and advice.

And if you’re not concerned and all is tickety boo, then you do you.

But maybe look for other ways to help switch off and chill out too. Variety is the spice of life!

The title of this thread " Is it so wrong to chillout after work"

He's not said he's worried about it so why are others speculating?

Those who really have alcohol problems are on park benches walking up and down the streets not holding down a job.

The title of the thread says to me someone away from here may be criticising the OP for having glasses of alcohol after a hard days work

It's not a crime and who is a person troubling if they are enjoying a few glasses? If they are d*unk texting getting abusive to others that's a different ball game

People just have too much to say on what others do just because its not what they themselves participate its sick

The text of the OP includes the words "drinking more than you know you should"

Which indicates he might be concerned.

And no, people with alcohol problems are not all unemployed and homeless. That's a terrible stereotype and harmful to those with problems (which I'm not saying the OP has)."

People have to know if they have an issue or not for themselves its no good others saying so

Might and does are two different things

OP has not expressed that he may have an issue people just read into things too much.

Can't read into everything so much and all the time

So, if someone asks if something is wrong and it might be too much, we should read into it that it's fine and we should celebrate it?

A reading where the OP wanted a genuine answer to the question requires far less inference than having to assume we have to be pro alcohol because he has a job. That seems like you're importing some of your assumptions and pretending that it's neutral. It's not.

“Those who really have alcohol problems are on park benches walking up and down the streets not holding down a job.”

I’m sorry but with respect, that’s not the case with all addictions and addicts at all.

Addicts (of anything!) can be extremely good at hiding their addiction.

Those that you see on park benches and walking up and down streets represent just a section of addicts in society.

Not read the full thing, mainly the first few and last few, but where on earth do we get the vibe that the OP is a functioning alcoholic? He posted on a Friday night, presumably after a long week at work.

I have a beer or two most evenings after work to unwind. By no means am I dependent, I enjoy it. I'm sure the OP, with the odd splurge too, is similar.

OP probably having a nice time with friends or family yet here are a bunch of people speaking on something about another person they don't know interesting.

Dust a bad week I work in social housing and some things you see need to be wiped from your mind. As a self employed person we don't get much support.

So this week had to do another safeguarding for a minor, then had a job in an old gentleman's flat that stunk of damp with roaring food still in pots on the cooker and the last straw was my last job Friday the house was full of dog sh1t it was even in the bedroom where the lady was sleeping.

I don't drink during the week and don't do drugs but just need forget the week.

"Even if its means drinking more than you know you should "

I'd worry about someone who did that every day. Once in a while - no.

Depends where what you “know” comes from?

Are you saying you drink more than the recommended amount daily, or are you saying you’re drinking more than you “should” based on your own lived experience?

Winding down after work isn’t a bad thing at all, if you NEED alcohol to wind down daily I’d say it’s a dependency issue. But that’s only my opinion, people can drink daily through choice and not have a dependency issue equally.

Disagree with the above, many people with alcohol problems have jobs and families it’s not about being homeless and park benches. Very stereotypical.

It’s a very subjective question and will get differing answers based on how much that person also drinks alcohol.

If you think your drinking more than you personally should, above what you believe are your own limits; there’s lots of places for support x

I don't seek validation from others.

People just seem to have a problem with allowing a person to be responsible for themselves and also enjoy life.

Also taking things too literal he said he's chilling out and people are jumping on the sentence drinking more than you should.

He's not even said how many he's had and no one has cared to ask yet a lot of jumped to conclusions he may have an alcohol issue "

Fist I had 2 bottles of proseco for me that's to much.

But that's to sum that saw the post for what it was.

Nothing wrong with having a drink after a busy day or to de-stress now and then, but if you’re starting to rely on alcohol to cope or if you know it’s affecting your health, then I would class that as a problem.

As long as you have a tolerance break it's all good.

I get that! Some weeks my job is total dog shit, and I'll kick back with some escapism at the bottom of a bottle Not just that easy to state find a new job then? I'm not 17 to start anew, I don't want to work for less than my current salary, I can't fuck off my bills... Sooo...

Glad someone said it, its definitely not easy to just switch job.

I've had members accuse me of trying to cause chaos that's definitely not why I join in on the forums

Accusations are horrid xx

"The OP has shown he works so he clearly has his life in order.

He is not relying on alcohol so people please don't put words into his mouth and make it come across like he's drowning sorrows

It's easier to point fingers and try criticise a person than actually allow a person to live their life as it suits them.

He is not displaying that its affecting his life some comments show how judgemental people can be goodness me "

He asked a question to get opinions from a lot of people and there are such things as functioning alcoholics and drinking way more than you know you should every night is alcohol dependency and it will destroy you so please don't try to white knight especially if it's potentially destructive and while he's actually asking for opinions. We do it occasionally too and once we've had a couple every night for a week we acknowledge we have to fix it
