first off, why does it matter what we think is ok?

Second, if you think you're in control and you're not getting loaded on a regular basis, you can consider yourself pretty well off. I consider myself to have a problem and I usually drink 12+ drinks about 4 or 5 days a week. Now if 3 margs is enough to get you blitzed, then you should consider that too much. If 3 margs is just enough to take the edge off, then I see no problem.

I wouldn't say counting your drinks is what's important.

Your drinking habits should NOT effect anything around you. You shouldn't miss work. You shouldn't abuse anyone. You shouldn't be late on bills. You shouldn't drive. You shouldn't miss school. (so on)

The second booze starts impacting other areas of your life, then you have a problem.

Sounds like the answer out of a psychology text book.:fawk:

I was just wondering what people thought. I know that once it starts to be problematic that by definition it is a problem....
