    I don’t have to but:

    Hi I’m Plactagonic and I have slight issue with alcohol…

    Right now I don’t have any.

    Sorry this bad joke pops in my mind every time somebody wants to introduce me.

      My dad joke variation of this is to say…

      “I may have a drinking problem”

      “I don’t know how to hold the bottle!”

      Its gotten a few groans of anguish but then that seems par for the course with my humour :p

        I’ve been thinking about this joke for a while and don’t feel I understand it. I expect there is a double meaning or a cultural saying that is lost on me, please can you explain it?

          Sure! There’s a general thing that people sometimes say when they struggle with alcoholism and that is that they say they have a drinking problem.

          So with the joke here, rather than a drinking problem reffering to someone being an alcoholic, it is instead because they cannot hold the bottle and are thus having a problem with drinking but in a completely different way.

          Hope that cleared it up a little :)
