Me too. When I would go out and get drunk with my friends the hubbs always said they were a bad influence on me. That's exactly what I said to him: "no one held a gun to my head" or "they didn't pour it down my throat".
I never thought I drank for any other reason than it was fun. As it turns out I probably did have factors that contributed to me using but I didn't know that at the time. I just thought I was extra indulgent or lazy or something.
