No, jwoody, it's not that simple.

The difference between you and mayaj is: she and the people around her have a problem with her drinking, and she says she's unable to control it on her own. And she's coming to us looking for opinions and advice about that.

You and the people around you have no problem with your or their drinking, and you don't give a damn what we think about it (nor should you). If you enjoy what you're doing and don't want to stop, keep at it. Hell, have one for me next time you go out. But if and when you decide to quit, and if at that point you find you can't, then it's time to face some facts.

Edit: Just so you're clear where I stand about this--I enjoy drinking as much as anybody. I have zero problem with people partying and having a good time. That's not the issue. The issue is, she wants to cut back, and is finding she can't.
