I hate seeing new people here told they probably don't have a problem tbh,
Agreed! For the longest time I thought I didn't have a problem because I knew a lot of people who drank more than me (and more frequently) and they seemed to be doing fine.
I learned my body processes alcohol differently so even if I have one glass of wine, I'll wake up the next day feeling like I had a whole bottle. My mood is off, I'm lethargic, and I feel like skipping work. It's also hard for me to monitor my drinking --while drinking--because I never feel drunk. Some have said it's because I have a high tolerance but that's not the case; it's been like that since I first started drinking.
Anyway, I say all of that because I've learned, for me and my body, the amount I drink is a huge problem...but it probably wouldn't be an issue for most people.
Day 2!
