i too drink heavy during social events... i doubt this is considered alcoholism 
drink a glass of wine or maybe a couple of beers by myself every so often..

The thing is, I don't think I would even drink that much if I could figure out other social activities to do!  How else do you meet birds?

Hot yoga. Just trust me.

word?

How drunk do you get on the weekends? Are we talking throwup/blackout drunk? Or a few paced drinks and a good buzz? If it's the latter, then you are okay. If not, then it's probably not a good thing.

i think there is no problem with it, until it starts getting in the way of your responsibilities...

Having more than 7 drinks a week labels one an alcoholic. Technically I am one myself by that standard so. But I don't need alcohol to function and take certain weeks off where I don't have anything.

call it what you want, it seems pretty normal to me considering almost everyone i know is the same way.

my buddies and i feel the same way. i'll stop getting drunk when i have kids, but until then, why the !$%% not?

alcoholism doesn't have much to do with how much or how often you drink.
