[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to point out, and this point is relevant in this thread and in others where folks discuss dry January or other related conversations about rate of alcohol use:

Most people who drink 'one' drink per day at home are not, in fact, consuming only one unit of alcohol. Perhaps yes if they drink a bottled beer or bottled hard cider. But most people who drink wine and spirits in mixed drinks or even neat do not measure their units of alcohol to match the units being considered by health professionals when giving guidance on usage.

I've spend a lot of years around drinkers. Very, very rarely ever seen a wine drinker's single glass of wine being an actual single unit of wine, much more likely one glass a day wine drinkers are actually drinking two units of wine every day.

You sure are paying a lot of attention to what others drink. You sound like a dry drunk yourself.[/quote]

PP sounds nothing like a "dry drunk" and you sound unhinged and are paying way too much attention to random DCUM posts looking for opportunities to be aggressive. [/quote]

I don’t drink at all at work events or happy hours. Never, ever, and I would agree with the assessment of the PP as a “dry drunk.” The close policing of the behavior of others, the careful monitoring of alcohol consumption of others, the nasty judgment, the gossip: that’s all characteristic of a “dry drunk.” I have very rarely noted what other people are drinking; the only exceptions being when I decline to order a bottle or whatever. Or sometimes if there is a large bill and I’m not excluded with my tonic water lol. But otherwise, the PPs behavior is very weird and obsessive, and doesn’t seem healthy. [/quote]
