[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 532301, member: 2211"] [SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]It's a fine line...lol. A problem drinker, in my opinion since I'm married to one, is a person who can't stop drinking. It can be a person who gets drunk every day or someone who doesn't drink except on the weekends. But if a person has three drinks and then can't stop until they get stupid and pass out, that's a problem. And like Step said, when a person's drinking habit interferes with their ability to cope, work, be a viable family member, etc., that's a problem. When my friend and I meet up at one another's home for a couple of glasses of wine, we're drinking sociably. Neither of us every gets wasted, but we do catch a buzz. Those occasions rarely if ever lay me up the next day nor my friend. I come from a long line of alcoholics so I happen to be very attuned to my own drinking capabilities. I make sure I eat, I drink water along with whatever I'm drinking so I stay hydrated and I don't drink if I'm driving. Someone who throws caution to the wind just so they can get their drunk on has a problem, in my opinion. [/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
