Daniel, please stop drinking.

My heart couldn't take it if something bad happened to you again, sugarpie. Don't assume that because Bree is gone, you can let your guard down. They are still there watching and waiting. Don't make yourself more vulnerable than you already are!

EDIT: Spelling

I don't mean to sound pushy or anything but you need to be careful in your drinking habits. Look at what happened the last time you went off with people you didn't know to drink. Be thankful Jonas was there to make sure you got home.

Just say no

...to alcohol and sex with Jonas's aunt.

Go Abstinance!

you know you're an alcoholic- and you tried not to drink- but it happened anyway. at least you knew not to drink. don't beat yourself up too badly that you did anyway but do recognize that that indicates a problem and that you need to work on your willpower. practice makes perfect etc.

He is not an alcoholic. Alcoholics drink constantly and mainly by themselves. Beast here only drinks socialy. My uncle is an alcoholic. He Drinks 4 beers per meal a day Dan over does it but he is no alcoholic my friends.

no alcoholics are still alcoholics, even when they aren't drinking. it's about the way they are affected by alcohol; their inability to control themselves or moderate

It doesn't always start out that way. My best friend in highschool was an alcoholic as well, and it started/was triggered with social drinking (she had a history of alcoholism in the family as well). I think a lot of the time it's when you start to realize that you can't control whether or not you drink that the problem becomes more apparent. Not always to the person, but to the people around them. Then it just gets progressively worse.

I still say he is not an alcoholic. Hes only been drunk on here, what? Two times maybe? When I was new to the world of drinking I over did it myself. Daniel may even just be a lightweight.

But Daniel has also talked about his parent's drinking dependency, which is a red flag. If his parents are alcoholics and Daniel isn't able to stop himself from drinking when he knows it has resulted in dangerous situations before, I really wouldn't be surprised if he is an alcoholic.

Well than we will label it a flaw and every good character needs a flaw and this flaw happens to make his character interesting. And just because he is a drunk it doesntr mean he can't save the day still, I mean look at Iron man.

Just FYI for everyone...AA describes an alcoholic as one who's personality changes with the comsumption of alcohol. Does Daniel fit this description? He's definately more animated when drunk, but I don't know if I'd call it a personality change.

That's probably not a good example considering that Iron Man has lately become more of a villain than anything. Of course, he think he's doing the right thing, but so do most tyrants and betrayers.
