Conversation with friend
Wanted to get you guys' thoughts on this, b/c it happened to come up with a friend "Jeff" w/o any prompting from me. This was the conversation was over IM today:
Jeff: I managed to only drink 1/2 a bottle of wine last night. I'm always proud of myself when I do that.
Me: Yes. Well, that's why I cannot keep any in my house anymore.
Jeff: B/c you will finish it all?
Me: Yes. We've had this conversation many times. I don't see the point of having just one or two glasses of anything. I drink to get drunk. I'd finish whatever I had in the house and want more. Which is why I need to quit.
Jeff: Everyone drinks to get drunk. If they say they don't, they're lying. We all drink to relax and have fun. I don't think that means you need to quit.
Me: Well if I got drunk off of one glass, maybe I wldn't see it as a problem.
Jeff: You just have a high tolerance. I don't think that means you need to quit.
Me: *change subject to the local sports team*
I've expressed my concern to Jeff many times, but never really the extent of how much I drink.
I don't even know what I'm asking, just wondering what you guys think...is he just delusional? Or am I? ugh, I don't know sometimes.
