yes you are right in england if you dont want to get so drunk you cant remember the night before then there is something wrong with you ..honestly it is that bad
if you look on facebook all the women go on about wine and vodka round each others houses and on a mon the guys go on about only 4 days to go before they get smashed again
i have never been a druggie but every one is on coke every one
sorry i'm off on one again
back to your point it will not threaten my not drinking status as i have said and i meant it i cant stand to be around her when she is drinking
unfair and selfish i know but as smacked said that was her call this is my call
she wont risk losing me to drink ..if she does then she cant really of thought that much of me can she
