[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! Lots of people here are pretty threatened by talk of booze being a problem. That in and of itself seems to indicate a problem...[/quote]

I don't drink a lot, but I do sometimes (maybe 2-4 drinks/month, usually a glass of wine with dinner if we are out). No one would ever consider me a problem drinker. And I think OP is batty. Of course there is a small segment of the population who has a problem with alcohol. It is like every other addiction. There is a small segment of the population who is addicted to food, sex, work, exercise, etc. That doesn't mean that most people aren't just fine and it is silly to extrapolate to that group of people all of the bad things that can be caused by alcohol.

+1.  I never drank until my 30s and now just enjoy a glass of wine every now and then.  I've never driven a car after even a drop, have never been drunk, and have never done anything stupid due to drinking.  I certainly don't "need" alcohol, but I enjoy it in the same way as coffee or chocolate.

From what I gather, OP seems to think that all drinking is problematic drinking based on an assumption that alcohol always leads to bad things - most of us think that assumption is false.  
Not sure what OP's basis for saying I must have problems in my life is, although I would welcome her take. [/quote]
