[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't know whether you are an alcoholic or not and frankly, the opinion of DCUM is not relevant. Your husband, who lives with you and loves you, expressed concern. I would take that to heart and reconsider your drinking habits.[/quote] I guarantee if her husband told her to stop her dessert-a-day habit, you would say it's none of his business, how insensitive. And there is zero difference, health-wise, between having a piece of cake every day versus a glass of wine every day. They are equally risk-elevating--and neither remotely a death sentence. [/quote] Cake doesn't lower inhibitions and impair judgement.[/quote] Neither does a glass of wine, unless you are a seventh grader.[/quote] Serious question: do you ever find yourself abstaining while everyone else is drinking? Because that’s me at most work functions: I’m the sober one who doesn’t have a drink so I can drive, etc. And everyone pretty much turns into an entertaining embarrassment pretty quickly. (These are affluent white collar professionals with big DC jobs ranging in age from 40-65+, not greenhorns. It’s obvious by their drinks that they are longtime drinkers. And they get buzzed and inappropriate pretty fast. [/quote] I know you. You’re the one no one wants to spend time with at parties. You clutch your seltzer and want to talk about the pitch meeting next week instead of literally anything but work.[/quote] Lolz Not quite. All I’m suggesting is you try being the sober one at a business dinner or happy hour. You’ll quickly discover how easy it is for people to look foolish after only one or two drinks. It will make you be more careful with your own drinking with coworkers/clients. [/quote] I’m sober all the time at happy hours and business dinners and I don’t see this at all. You seem like the worst type of person to be at a social event, though — an inveterate nasty gossip. [/quote]
