I can find quizzes online that say my drinking is fine, and others that say I'm a full blown alcoholic. A lot of it has to do with whose quiz it is, and how brutally honest you are in answering the questions.
I don't need a label. My drinking affects ME and my happiness. That's enough. The grass in this case really is greener.
I know what you mean, but, for me at least, alcohol has become a bit like love. You ignore all the warning signs and our life crashing down around you and become blinkered.
Just glad I'm beginning to realise this now
