[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole fight about whether it’s ok to drink 6 drinks a week is ridiculous. Most people I’ve interacted with online when I’ve been trying to cut back and then quit have been so supportive, whichever path I was on. Going from 3 drinks a night to 1 drink a night is a meaningful change and something to be proud of. Quitting is also awesome. Even just waking up to the realization that it might be time to look more closely at your habits is an important step. Everyone has their own relationship with alcohol to contend with, and everyone’s health priorities are going to be different, especially as we age and our lives evolve. When someone is ready to view 6 drinks as too many, something in their life will bring them to that realization, and somehow I doubt a lecture from a stranger on DCUM will be the catalyst for change![/quote

What is ridiculous is how defensive people apparently are about anyone challenging their drinking. So I should let this person continue damaging behavior until they figure out that they’re damaging their brain and increasing their risk of breast cancer significantly? They came on forum to talk about it, for Christ’s sake.  The one topic we have tip toe around here, it is nuts. There is a more reasonable discussion on the health board. Lots of defensiveness but not personal attacks. [/quote]
