Have you brought up the possibility of going out without drinking at all, just once? I'd be interested in her reaction to that proposal...

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how she feels about her actions. In several of the... situtations... that we "discussed" - her response to why she did it was "I was just having a good time." I am unsure if she thinks her behavior is bad, but I am almost certain that she thinks I am being overprotective. I am not really satisfied with her response, because normally when she says that she was "having a good time" it typically involves nudity or something else distasteful. If I had to guess, I would bet that in the back of her mind she may know that her behavior is "bad" - but would probably never admit it to herself, and never admit it to me.
In fact, one thing I neglected to mention when we were talking about her blackout - she said she was embarrassed that she blacked out. I told her it was nothing to be embarrassed about, but it is definately a problem. She then made quite a revealing comment as to why she was upset. It wasn't because she blacked out, it was because "It justifies why you (me) don't like to go out with me"
I have never really even thought about going out and not drinking, Sultana. I'm not sure if she would go for it, but it would give me insight as to whether she goes out for the alchohol or for the scene in general. That's something I would have never thought of - I appreciate it, and will let you know what she says when I do bring it up
