Comment on It's impossible to defend any amount of alcohol consumption without sounding like an alcoholic.

“Because my consumption isn’t problematic.”
Like the person who is only drinking a half dozen times a year doesn’t have a relationship with alcohol at all. They don’t even think about it in a regular day. The only person who would hear a red flag in those responses is someone who does have a relationship with alcohol, and it’s probably not a good one.
But that’s exactly what an alcoholic would say
Sure, but this interpretation is almost entirely subjective to you. Most people don’t think in shades of alcoholic.
I think you need to learn what non-problematic drinking is. Most people do not have a problem and your responses ITT are quite childish and ignorant
You can’t explain anything to people who will intentionally misunderstand you and assume the worse.
Cause they want to have “a drink” occasionally.

That would be an extraordinarily rude response to those statements and I would seek to stay way the fuck away from anyone with that obvious of a behavioral issue.
