Seems to me most people like a drink or two, but are people drinking too much alcohol and why drink so much, so frequently,
Is it boredom, stress, unhappiness, addiction, ????????????????? |

My problem is that I associate drinking with socialising and I love to socialise! I don't like getting absolutely LEGLESS all the time though - - just pissy  |

No, it's just general knowledge split into some categories! Lots of fun actually, but not much if you are the last person to get on the board (that would be me!).
Aww bless you for your civil response! |

Yeah, I think socializing and drinking alcohol go together definitely.
But I think alot of peeps drink to gain confidene as well, dont you think? |

It's boredom.
What else is there to do in London besides drink when the weather is shit.
Having said that, I drink far less than most people I know....about once a week if that. |

It is quite depressing that I have an inverse weekend now i.e. I don't drink Monday or Tuesday but drink the rest of the time pretty much whereas I only used to drink on the weekend. Varies from having one beer at a mates place during a pop-in to blowing a tonne and a half and getting completely hosed.
I never drank much for about 4 years though and have just come out of hibernation somewhat. |

| Drinking is ok as long as you don't drink too much to miss work or do something too stupid...it's true that someone people do use drink to escape and that's a bit dangerous... |

Stop justifying it GG!
I hardly drank for the 12-18 months leading up to my arrival in the UK. I have spectacularly made up for it since tho... |

Thats what I mean, instead of popping round and once being offered a cup of tea, you are now offered a glass of wine or beer.
Drinking is fine in moderation but I think people drink far too much and become to rely on its effects way too much !! |
