Alkie v. Normie
Black vs. White? You are vs. You aren't?
Is there a gray area?
I ask, because just about everyone I know drinks to some degree. I've been reading on here about "normies" who drink 1-2 and don't have a desire to drink more. Then there's the "alkies" who drink 1-2 and can't stop. According to what I have read, there is a physiological difference between the two.
But, I seem to know a lot of people who fall somewhere in the middle. In fact, most of my friends and acquaintances seem to fall in there. Most of my close friends have no problem going out and getting wasted on a Friday night, but they don't drink daily and they don't drink alone just for the fun of it. But they'll drink with the best of them, when the time is right.
So, who are these people in the middle? The lucky ones? Why can they get wasted at appropriate times, and be a moderate or non-drinker otherwise?
