Being an alcoholic means you NEED a drink to get through the day.

Having a problem with alcohol could just be that you drink too much...which seems to be what Siavash is saying, working in a club, he drank all the time.

Gordon bennet is this forum growing dickheads this week. Feeling that you may be drinking too much, especially as you work in a field where drinks are part and parcel of the industry you are in, isnt a bad thing, nor is it admitting to alcoholism.

Lits of people have a variety of problems with alcohol, without them being alcoholic. for example you have the instant ass hole, just add alcohol, doesnt have to be habitual or excessive. My problems with alcohol include the fact I have two hands and only one mouth.

Many people who are on the road to becoming alcoholics, realise the effects of their lifestyle and use of alcohol and reduce their intake of alcohol and frequency of intake. That doesnt mean they are alcoholics, just they dont want to become one.

Alcoholism - habitual excessive consumption of alcohol. The person who works through the week , no probs then on a weekend goes heavy on the sauce, - the weekend bender, technically an alcoholic.

What you say is spot on, but if he could control it then he didn't have a problem in the first place. Its weird he drunk at work too, where I've worked at bars if you're found drinking on the job you were sacked on the spot.

Alcohol problems are a bit more complex than not having a problem if he can control it.

Some employers give a little leeway with socialising whilst on the job, anyways who is to say he wasn't his own boss?

Because we would've heard about his bar/when he was a manager by now

Thats funny I thought he was a party/events organiser

Wasn't he supposed to be a fashion designer?

Lies. Like others have said, if he was a recovering Alcoholic he wouldn't touch the stuff.

He is an events organiser, thats correct shasown :spin:

I disagree.


But I LOVE your elephant :elephant:

Coming up to the end of the show and he starts looking for the sympathy vote. :rolleyes:

I hope the public see this. But they have been fooled by him all series, so most likely not.

I agree, he has played them all (HM's and Viewers) and people are too dumb to see it ...well apart from few people on here and Marcus :-/

Its charlie who is playing more for they sympathy vote, his mother was mentioned quite a bit last night, plus he wound roddy up, just so he could do all the 'poor me' stuff again.

Someone pointing in your face doesnt hurt. Much exaggerated.

Typical of this forum - one little comment always gets blown out of all proportion! Some dramatic twit - always puts their own exagerrated definition to it - attempting to portray it as fact - to create an 'interesting' thread!

It was reported on DS as him admitting to be a recovering alocholic so that's not really the OP's fault.

Siavash is just being attention seeking as always. If you can stop drinking at any moment that's not a problem and if you physically can't go without a drink then that's being an alcoholic. It would have been more appropriate for him to just say I was drinking too much and it probably wasn't good for me instead of him being all melodramatic and saying he had a 'problem' because that obviously has connotations of alcoholism.

They were probably both just playing my story is better than yours

(sorry I feel like I've stalked you today :blush2:)

Rodders poked Charlie in the face this morning, walked away then went back and done it again, then later he said I will do worse if i come over there again.

Thought all violence and threats of violence are frowned upon in the house, oops of course i forgot unless you are the BB favourite HM.

Would be fun if charlie wound rodders up in the kitchen as rodders was cutting bread or something!

What he said was that he drank most nights and it was beginning to become a problem.....
He nevers said anything about being an alcoholic.
It wasn't in anyway a sympathy vote...:cloud:

I watched lf and what he said was that he was drinking Jack Danials every night and realised he was drinking too much so he sorted it out 6 months before going into the house, It was a 2 minute segmant and in no way said as someone seeking sympathy more to do with the fact drink was stolen again in my opinion.

This was all over a report by someone on DS who incorrectley reported that he was a recovering alcholic which Siavash never said:mad:

He is not an alcoholic.

He said he had a problem drinking too much. He would find it difficult to be an events manager and drinking every night.

He has shown no problem taking one drink and leaving it at that. He is very lucky to have changed his behaviour before his body became addicted to alcohol and caused liver damage.

Have to agree with most on here. Having been married to an alcoholic and knowing the signs, there is no way that Siavash could stop at one or two cans. A recovering alcoholic does not drink otherwise they are still drink dependant

Totally agree i watched lf and Siavash NEVER said he was a recovering alcoholic. Some people are thick as **** and believe everything they read :laugh::laugh:

I didnt think much of Rodrigo, until now.

I thought it was brilliant, and again showed charlie up for the fake that he is, he blatantly wound the situation up, and then tried the poor me approach to it, "I did nothing wrong".

Also liked how he threw water on charlie, as charlie did this to angel in the early weeks, for no reason whatsoever. Charlie is getting a taste of his own medicine.

I love it :cheer2:

You can binge drink, that doesn't make you an alcoholic but it can be problematic
