[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I rarely drink. I'll enjoy a drink (one single drink) every now and then, like maybe 5-15 drinks over the course of an entire year. But I absolutely don't need it.

Admittedly, I do judge people who feel the need to drink at social events - they're masking something, or using alcohol as a crutch to get them through, and I think that's harmful.

An occasional celebratory drink is one thing.[b] Normalizing it every time you get together or have an event, is indicative of a problem. And if you need more than one drink to get a buzz, then you definitely have a problem because your tolerance is completely muted.[/b]

This is all just your opinion, not fact.[/quote]

It's a fact. There are a lot of people who are in incredible denial about their alcohol dependency, as a normal thing to order every time they go out or get together with others. [/quote]

No, it is not a fact. You saying so does not make it so. Everyone who likes to have a drink in a social event is not “alcohol dependent,” and not getting a buzz from one drink is a sign of nothing.[/quote]

If you need more than one drink to get a solid buzz, then you either:

1) are just completely immune to the effects of alcohol altogether
2) weigh 400lbs
3) have build up a tolerance due to excessive drinking

I love how non-drinkers come on here and are the experts on alcohol. I take your admonishments about as seriously as I would a vegetarian's advice on the best cuts of steak. [/quote]

I'm not a non-drinker. I drink occasionally - maybe about 10x a year. You have built up a big tolerance due to excessive drinking, if 1 drink does virtually nothing for you.

No, I'm a 220 lb man and a single beer has never registered, even back in college. [/quote]
