Best answer:

Answer by paul
it does not matter how long or how much. its more like you have to have it then you have a problem..good luck

Answer by Cheryl G
The answer to that question is as varied as the people who are addicted to alcohol. Sometimes it can start with one drink. Yep, just one.
For most people, addiction to alcohol starts very slowly and before you are aware of what’s happening, you have a big problem.
Best option: Don’t EVER drink more than your capacity. Know what it is and don’t overindulge. Drink only when you are in a social situation, never when alone. Never take a drink in the morning to “cure” the hangover from the night before.
Drink a glass of water after every two drinks, no matter what they are. Sip, don’t chug.
Alcohol is a drug. You should have a fully mature adult body and brain before you drink. The law says 21, and that’s a good idea.

Question by Armbreaker: Why do we pretend they are for equality?
“The nuclear family must be destroyed… Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process.” — Linda Gordon

“I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.” — Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor.

“I haven’t the faintest notion what possible revolutionary role white hetero- sexual men could fulfill, since they are the very embodiment of reactionary- vested-interest-power. But then, I have great difficulty examining what men in general could possibly do about all this. In addition to doing the shitwork that women have been doing for generations, possibly not exist? No, I really don’t mean that. Yes, I really do.” — Robin Morgan

“We can’t destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage.” — Robin Morgan

“I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire.”
— Robin Morgan

From her “The Demon Lover” (NY: Norton & Co., 1989 Morgan doesn’t hide her bigotry):

* p. 138-9: The phallic malady is epidemic and systemic… each individual male in the patriarchy is aware of his relative power in the scheme of things…. He knows that his actions are supported by the twin pillars of the State of man – the brotherhood ritual of political exigency and the brotherhood ritual of a sexual thrill in dominance. As a devotee of Thanatos, he is one with the practitioner of sado-masochistic “play” between “consenting adults,” as he is one with the rapist.
* p. 224: My white skin disgusts me. My passport disgusts me. They are the marks of an insufferable privilege bought at the price of others’ agony.
* p. 229: Sex to this point in my life has been trivial, at best a gesture of tenderness, at worst a chore. I couldn’t understand the furor about it.
* p. 316: Did she die of the disease called “family” or the disease called “rehabilitation”, of poverty or drugs or pornography, of economics or sexual slavery or a broken body?

“And let’s put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism–the lie that there can be such a thing as ‘men’s liberation groups.’ Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group, specifically because of a ‘threatening’ characteristic shared by the latter group–skin, color, sex or age, etc. The oppressors are indeed ****ED UP by being masters, but those masters are not OPPRESSED. Any master has the alternative of divesting himself of sexism or racism–the oppressed have no alternative–for they have no power but to fight. In the long run, Women’s Liberation will of course free men–but in the short run it’s going to cost men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily. Sexism is NOT the fault of women–kill your fathers, not your mothers”.
— Robin Morgan

“To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he’s a machine, a walking dildo.”
— Valerie Solanas, Authoress of the SCUM Manifesto

“Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation, and destroy the male sex.”
— Valerie Solana, SCUM founder (Society for Cutting Up Men.)

“The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness…can be trained to do most things.”
— Jilly Cooper, SCUM (Society For Cutting Up Men, started by Valerie Solanas)

“Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women’s movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage.” — Sheila Cronin, the leader of the feminist organization NOW

“I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.” — Andrea Dworkin

“Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice.” — Andrea Dworkin

“Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women’s bodies.” — Andrea Dworkin

“In my own life, I don’t have intercourse. That is my choice.” — Andrea Dworkin

Under patriarchy, every woman’s son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.” — Andrea Dworkin

“To be rapeable, a position that is social, not biological, defines what a woman is.” — Andrea Dworkin

“Q: People think you are very hostile to men.
A: I am.” — Andrea Dworkin

I’d be shocked if you get any legitimate replies. They tend to avoid real posts like the plague.

Answer by Rowdy McFarlane
The issue is NOT that those feminists said those things.

The issue is that other feminists did not rebuke them. Nor did mainstream feminist organizations. Quite the contrary, mainstream feminist organizations HONOR these sick, perverted and hateful souls. And because of that lack of censure and down-right encouragement, we have a misandric culture so perverse that any time a man is maimed or killed by a woman, many, many women cheer. And STILL mainstream feminism does nothing to reign in the hate. THAT is how every MRA knows that mainstream feminism is nothing but the hatred of men.

Question by berrybrigerre_1: Am I Violating Yahoo Community Guidelines With This Answer on Disease?
A woman asked a question about stage 2 cancer. She pleaded for help as she asked multiple questions in her additional details about how to address the problem. Can you tell me if my response was deserving of “report abuse” by a Yahoo user other than the woman. If I am violating guidelines in any way, then I gladly appreciate an eye opener. Here is the response below: (skim if you like, but point out any violations of Yahoo).

I don’t mean to sound harsh or insensitive, but yes, melanoma is deadly. And, because it may be in the lymph nodes makes it even more deadly. Melanoma is a malignant cancer, which means it only gets worst overtime and when it spreads to other tissues, such as lymph nodes, that gives it easy access to the immune system and other tissues of the body. The immune system is what defends against cancer, so you definitely don’t want it spreading here! People with stage 2 melanoma have a 50% to 80% percent survival rate for 5 years, which means they will still be alive after 5 years if they are in the 50% to 80% category. However, you said that it was stage 2 melanoma, so that means–by medical definition–that it has not spread to lymph nodes, yet! In order for it to be classified as lymph node melanoma then there has to be certain characteristics in place and they include: area, border, color, diameter, and elevation of the cancerous node.

This is called the ABC’s of skin cancer. Know what they are before allowing doctors to rush him on chemical or radiation therapy. You need to see tests results that match up with your research, write it down. Even take note on what the doctors are telling you. Ask lots of questions about your findings. This way you and your husband can use your better judgement and know your options more explicitly. Learn all you can about stage 2 melanoma skin cancer and lymph node melanoma–SPECIFIC drug treatment and drug options, drug complications, pharmacology of this drug, other treatment options that are less invasive, etc. Take charge in this situation because you have to consider that it may not have the outcome you’re hoping for!

More than likely, however, they will give him a radioactive isotope (tracer) to identify the cancerous tumor in his lymph nodes. Radioactive isotopes are not without the risk of side-effects though. So, before they do that make sure you know ALL of your options! Luckily though, because they have removed the tumor from his leg and it is only stage 2, then, in my opinion, he has a great chance of survival ONLY if he changes his diet and start exercising. Raw fruits and veggies as well as certain supplements that boost the immune system and are not contraindicative of cancer, can have profoundly good effects on his survival and remission rate.

P.S- The answer above, by Dr. Dhananjay Bhupathi, is good! Very good immune boosters! However, if you decide to take this route then search for these supplements interactions with stage 2 cancer: side-effects, how long to use, how much for his body-weight/age, interactions with specific foods, etc. Also, you can check into chlorophyll, garlic and Co enzyme Q10 (very powerful cancer fighters). He must stay on ONLY fruits and veggies for his healing, specifically, fruits and veggies that are high in antioxidants. Eat only organic foods or, if not organic, then wash the pesticides off off his food with water along with vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. It is okay to have essential fats though (olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, [no canola or corn oil] etc). It is also very important that he keeps chemicals off of his skin (bleach, dish liquid, etc). Use chemical-free or organic agents.

Answer by James
It seems to be a decent answer. Instead of talking about it here (which is kinda a violation in of itself), appeal to Yahoo! Answers and tell them why your answer is okay.

Answer by Denisedds
First of all, Dhananjay Bhupathi is not a real doctor it is obvious to anyone who reads his answers.
Second diet and exercise have little to do with cancer and nothing to do with skin cancer.
I have no idea if any of that even addresses the woman’s question(s).
Appeal the issue if you have a problem with it.

Question by abnjim5: Is Alcoholics Anonymous more effective than Cognitve Behavioral Therapy?
Much debate exists about which model is more effective in treating the problem of drug addiction. Some say AA is the only treatment that “works” while others choose the more human friendly non-religious CBT. AA uses rigid spiritual concepts based on their 12 steps and conducts their AA meetings on strict formats that were written seven decades ago. In AA “labels” like alcoholic are used which still holds a high degree of social stigmatism. Cognitive Behaviour programs like SMART (self-management and rehab treatment) sees substance abuse as a behaviour that can be changed, not a disease. CBT self-help methods are solidly based in comtemporary science and open discussions are encouraged. AA tells it members and “newcomers” that they need to find a higher power or god and relying on “self will” is bad and will lead to relapse.

If you were having problems with drugs, which would you choose for help, AA or CBT?

Best answer:

Answer by synchronicity915
I think it depends on the person.

Answer by dinoduos
AA is a bunch of BULLSH!T its nothing but a bunch of drunks leaning on each other trading one crutch for another you dont need them or a “higher power”its like another form of brainwashing
