[QUOTE="Lil, post: 644881, member: 17309"] I really think that sometimes it just depends on the person. A perfect example is my best friend since kindergarten. She and I had always partied together in high school. Then I went to college. She got married. When I got out of law school, she got divorced. We moved in together. We were single, in our 20, and went out a LOT. We're talking seven days a week. Sometimes just a drink after work, often full-blown, shut down the bars, nights. Sundays we'd do brunch and start with screwdrivers or mimosas. I got married to an alcoholic and pretty much quit drinking because I had to be the responsible one. She moved in with the man who would be her 2nd husband, who also lived a party lifestyle...they had no children...they continued that live and she became an alcoholic. It's been many years and she's been through rehab and fallen off the wagon and gotten back on. It seems her life is finally stable and sober and she has a lovely husband now. But my point is...we were just alike for many years...but her father and brother were alcoholics. There is no background in my family. I outgrew the desire to party and to dislike being out of control. She could not make those changes without help. [/QUOTE]
