I know what you mean. I saw you say in another thread that you had always assumed your friends were drinking similar amounts when you went out, but seeing them through sober eyes makes you realize that you were an anomaly. I've also experienced that lately, and this tool opened my eyes to that even more. I also wonder if it seems to me that everyone drinks heavily because I've subconsciously surrounded myself with drinkers because it's compatible with my own addiction.
