[quote=Anonymous]Confession here.  As I started reading your post, I was thinking you were writing about me.  I talk about drinking a LOT.  My house is a disaster.  Luckily, when you started mentioning the coctail with a shot and the pain meds, I figured out it wasn't me since I do neither of those things.

Just a different perspective.  Like I mentioned, I talk about drinking a LOT.  But, when I do drink, I rarely finish my first glass of wine because I typically nurse it throughout the night.  I think I talk about it a lot because it's a social venue, of sorts.  It's easy to use that as a reason to get together?? Honestly, I don't know why I mention it - I'll also make comments like "Can't wait to go home and have a drink" or "Is it 5 yet?  I'd LOVE some wine"  Yet, again, I'll usually drink about half the glass and pour the rest down the sink after dinner or when I'm about to do something else.

Obviously, all the other signs you mention aobut your friend would be worrisome, but from someone that absolutely does NOT have a problem, talking about drinking all the time doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem.

P.S. my house is a disaster because DH and I split the chores and I refuse to do his when he slacks off - so the kitchen could look like a disaster for days and I will simply walk over the mess because it happens to be his chore.  Don't know why I felt the need to explain this, but thought I'd throw it in.[/quote]
