[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 532761, member: 1550"] I don't know anyone who has a more positive life because they drink. Is there such a thing? I mean, I don't care if people drink...it's legal...but I don't think it's any less dangerous than pot. That's why I said it's hypocritical to drink yourself drunk every night then flip out when a kid tries pot. I did try pot. I didn't use it a lot, but it had much less an effect on me than alcohol does. I am worried about friend and her boyfriend. She is somebody close to me. She allows her boyfriend to drink and drive because she doesn't want to get a DUI, but he could kill her. Also, I don't want to tell her that I think this boyfriend has a drinking problem unless other people who drink think he has one. It's not really my business. But I worry and I care. Friend can always remember what she says after drinking, even if she probably would not have said it whi le sober. But her boyfriend doesn't remember a good deal of what he says when he has drunk. Is the "forgetting" sort of the red flag? [/QUOTE]
