[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 532322, member: 84"] I think it's somewhat of an individual thing. But in my opinion if friend can't go out without drinking.........there is probably a problem, as what she's saying is she can't have fun at the same place without being buzzed. I avoid drinking for two reasons. 1 my kidneys don't like it when I drink, it tends to throw me into acute renal failure at times (I never know when it's going to do it.) 2. I won't drink a drink that I don't like the taste.......and because I like the taste I just keep drinking it.......and because regardless of my size ect, I can drink most people under the table without batting an eye (I'm not bragging this is not a good thing) I tend to get seriously drunk without meaning to. And because I never toss my cookies no matter how much I drink and there is no hang over the next morning......that is not a deterrent. It didn't take me long to realize I couldn't seem to drink without getting drunk. I personally couldn't find that line, that drink limit. Know what I mean?? So many years ago, still in my early 20's, I just didn't drink. I saw the potential of becoming an alcoholic quite easily and knew I didn't want that. I can easily go a decade without picking up a drink. And now that I'm older.........I can stop at one or two and be just fine. But still, it's a very very long time frame between drinks. husband I made stop not because of the volume of his drinking (that itself wasn't too bad it was only 1 night a week), but when it changed his personality and not for the better.
