Today, it has got to the point that I don't even have to ask for my booze in the local off-licence, they just hand me my bottle. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that my alcoholism has gotten so bad that I rotate liquor stores so the clerks don't think bad about me. FML
Today, a local liquor store gave me a holiday gift for being such a great customer. They're not the first ones to do so. FML
Today, I was addressed by name by the liquor store clerk. I've never told him my name. He's just seen my ID many times. FML
Today, I realized that the cashier at the liquor store and I are already on a first-name basis. I just moved to this town a week ago. FML
Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Today, the girl who works at the liquor store came to where I work. She recognized me. FML
Today, my drinking habit hit a new low when I waited almost an hour to go to the liquor store after it opened because I didn't want to seem desperate. FML
Today, I tried to buy a bottle of wine from the supermarket. The scrawny, acne-ridden kid at the checkout asked to see my ID. I didn't have any on me, since I'm 37 years old and didn't expect to be asked stupid questions. I complained to his manager, only to be asked to leave. FML
Today, I bought a small bottle of liquor to share with my husband to celebrate our move. It took three hours at the store as the cashier, manager, GM, and a police officer checked my ID believing it was fake. I'm 25. FML
Today, I came home from a nine-hour shift and all I want is to sit down with a glass of Baileys. I can't find the key to the liquor cabinet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

there was one case where an old lady would order the same pizza everyday for three years without fail to the point where they would cook it before she even phoned. One day when she didn't call the driver went to her house to check on her and found she suffered a stroke. moral of the story: your alcoholism could one day save your life!

Just because he goes to the same store and gets the same thing on a regular basis doesn't mean he an alcoholic, it could mean he is just in a rut.

Regardless of frequency, that is great customer service, no matter if you are at a liquor store or a coffee shop. Most people also reach an age/maturity in drinking where they no longer have to try every bottle of spirits in the store, but have winnowed the selection down to one or two types of alcohol that they like, so I doubt you are in a rut. Also Ignore the comments on AA, remember AA is for quiters

Hey there's only a problem if it consumes you, this guy is posting this on some form of computer or phone so obviously he's not just some dead beat, and maybe he's just a regular customer and buys the same thing all the time, all the negativity here, he's living his life let him be, on a funnier not alcoholics need a drink, this guy already has one.... ;)
