I'd say your friend is a person who can really hold her liquor--in other words she has high tolerance. You've been together almost 2 years.
What about her drinking habits before you met?
Even if she should have "some" natural resistance which I doubt, I'd consider 9 or 10 drinks too much alcohol even for a 6' tall/ 200 lb man who hasn't built tolerance.
I'm married to an alcoholic. I'm not a physiologist or medical doctor.
I encourage you to read and study everything you can so you know what your are dealing with. You are already doing that or you wouldn't be here. Believe me and so many others here, you don't want to wait 10 years to start understanding where you stand.
Drinking on antidepressant medication is a big no no. "Don't drink alcohol while taking this medication" is usually written on the label. It's there for a reason. I assume you are aware that alcohol is a depressant.
Is your girl friend's history depression caused by alcohol?
