Somebody truly sikh wouldn't want to see their brothers or sisters fall down the rabbit hole of addiction ...only scumbags misusing the title to cover their failings.

So-called true Sikhs have their own failings away from issues of self intoxication but that's a discussion for another day.

I'm going from internal gurmat value system rather than outer bhes , these days any jaspreet, gurmeet and  harjinder can play dress up and fool folks .Besides many forms of addiction to this world's sideshow

"What kind of punjabi are u if u dont drink?"

Seriously??? Thats wats holding u back? 

U cant let losers like thay define wat punjabi people are. We used to he known for our hard work, anakh, and safety of all womenkind. And now these losers r redefining panjabis as drunks? 

Also what you do at home in the evening isnt any concern of theirs. You can have enough freedom to not drink at home at least. And if ur reputation bothers u,.u can drink in public likr weddings. 

But what would be better is if u say, it takes a strong will to quit smoking and drinking. And very few ppl manage it. I am gonna try and if u think im a sissy for quitting. I dare u guys to try. U wont last 1 day. 

That way u will also have accountability. You see to quit or start a new habit, u need accountability. So u should annouce it to someone, ur fiance, ur friends, or family that u will be quitting. This will help u not give into cravings as these ppl will laugh if u give in. Or u can place 100 dollars to charity or gurudwara or someone u hate, every can/bottle u drink. 

Also, please sober up before u get married. Ur wife will be horrified by ur drinking. Not only does it make u look ugly with a pot belly and fat around the face and red eyes and yellow teeth early in life. Alcohol creates many problems in a marriage. From fighting to domestic violence. U say u get violent from drinking. Wat if ur wife tells u to stop drinking and u hit her while ur drunk? That will be a hellish life. Quit while ur ahead. 

Also research all the bad things alcohol does to ur body, brain, and social relationships.

Instead of giving you a bollocking like some others in here are doing, I will try and give you some practical advice.......

Start drinking becks blue or the Heineken alcohol free beer. Either that or grape juice in a wine glass. Yes it's not the same thing, but from all accounts, I hear that the beer in particular, if someone didn't tell you it was alcohol free, you wouldn't be able to tell.

Apart from that, ignore the peer pressure element. If people lay into you asking what kind of punjabi are you? Just reply "a healthier one". If they try and force you, tell them to drink it, in fact force them to knock it back and then laugh loud when they puke up later.

Get disciplined about the above and you will realise very quickly that you can go out and enjoy socialising without drinking. Giving up doesn't mean you need to sit at home mediating all day.

Alternatively, based on previous "medical" advice on this forum, pull down your cucha, squat down and shove a raw karela up your jagsaw. Apparently that can cure any illness no matter how serious. So must be able to instantly cure any addiction too.

I think if your drinking that much then you should go speak to your gp and they can put you in touch with support.

Not sure why you think having a drink makes you a man or a punjabi. Obv you in the wrong crowd so change that, dont be so gullible.

You should probably not get married and ruin someones life until you sort your life out. 

Fix up before youu marriage mate.
