[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My entire extended family does this. No one has ever had social, occupational, legal, or medical consequences of drinking, so I would say that we aren’t alcoholics. But it’s part of the ritual of going out. Everyone gets dressed and then we meet up in the kitchen or the family room for a glass of wine before we leave. [/quote] You're describing a social ritual. The OP is describing a purposeful act to walk into a restaurant buzzed and if he can't do it, he doesn't bother to drink at the restaurant.[/quote] An alcoholic will always drink. Drinking is dosing and more people should see it this way vs social ritual. [/quote]
