I never drank much for about 4 years though and have just come out of hibernation somewhat. |
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... |
Ok, you got me, I'm just like that chick off Hollyoaks....
I can drink half a bottle of spirits now and not get pissed whereas when I was 17 if I had that much I'd be almost blowing chunks. |

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 !! |
Alcahol is a social thing....
Unlike Coffee or Tea or any non-alcaholic beverage it is unique in that the more you drink, the more thirsty you get, because it dehydrates you.
The fact that we drink is I believe down to boredom. If you've got something else to keep you occupied or you have something that interests you, then you dont need to drink. |

And the problem with that is what exactly??
ha ha  |
Its not a problem to be offered alcohol, not at all hun !!
Its just that for some people alcohol is a way of life and I think it becomes an addiction just like smoking in the end ! |

I like to drink to unwind but when my London time finally comes to an end, I am positive my alcohol intake will reduce dramatically! |

Agree, and obviously it makes you feel good, happy so people like that feeling so drink.
I like a good drink at the weekends only really !!
But I think there are better feelings out there than what you can get from alcohol i.e. siting in the sunshine with a nice cup of tea  And thats the truth !!!!!
Give me sunshine and a pot of tea and a nice packet of biscuits and that floats my boat!
But seriously, I think stress plays a big part in drinking, cos normally by Friday everybody has had a stressful week and the alcohol relaxes you and makes you feel good after a stressful time doesnt it? |
