[QUOTE="witzend, post: 532497, member: 99"] It said 3 drinks per sitting, but it also said that it's not any one thing. I think it's more like an Aspergers scale to a certain point. How long is "a sitting"? An hour or four hours? I don't think there's anything wrong with having 3 glasses of wine - or whatever - in an evening. I think most people would be hard pressed to say that was problematic unless it was every single evening, and that was the only thing we looked forward to. The worst problem drinkers I know and knew are the ones who start the party before the party starts, if you know what I mean. In fact, there was an old friend before we moved whom it was obvious she was on the long downhill skids and had been for decades. 25 and tipsy just isn't the same as 65 and falling down drunk. And that thing where people go from manic drunk to crying mess - bleh! [/QUOTE]
