[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 532485, member: 2196"] I drink wine once a week to relax. When difficult children are home with me I limit myself to a few glasses. I get tipsy but not full on drunk. When the kids are at their dads I tend to drink a little more wine. Sometimes I do get drunk but I am usually by myself and all I do is sit around and watch TV. I like the way the alcohol makes me feel since most times it's really hard for me to relax when my life is so hectic. I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I only do it on weekends and I'm not out of control or irresponsible. I never drink and drive. On the rare ocassions when my girlfriends and I are out drinking and dancing, we split a cab. I won't even drink one glass of wine and drive. I am really paranoid about that. My mom does not like the fact that I drink but I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I am a hard working responsible adult, and my rule is I NEVER drink during the week when I have to work the next day. Not even one glass, period. I don't see anything wrong with a little weekend fun, as long as driving and kids are not involved. Now someone who drinks every day is another story. I personally don't see how some people do it. I would not like the feeling of being drunk every day. That's when I think it becomes a problem. [/QUOTE]
