Great thread with interesting points of view.
It is weird because I see both sides of the fence and not sure where I sit on this one! Part of me is thinking that they couldn't put down the bottle for a day or two? That spells dependency to me.
The other side of me is 'my house my rules', don't like it then there is the door, but like stated above is a drink worth losing a family member over? If so than again maybe a dependency issue.
Either way interesting thread!
I rarely drink but funny enough am having a jack and coke while I type this. My wife does not drink at all and I can't even remember the last time I had more than 4 drinks in a night let alone got wasted. If you want to come to my place drink up if you want too! I have a fully stocked bar.
My company is a big party place and they love to have drinks after work, either beers at the office or at a bar. I prefer to work out after work and am really have to crave the taste, not the feeling that a drink gives me.
If we drink at work, people will comment if you don't drink like your a "pussy", can you say high school? I drank and partied my face off when i was in my 20's and don't feel the need to now. Now I'll grab a beer, go to the washroom, pour it out and fill it with water. Just easier than taking crap from alcoholics at my work. Party on.
If they want to go to the bar...."I'll meet you there" and they never remember I never showed up.
