Definitely. You can spot the potential problem drinkers from the normies for a mile away. I was at a performance/event thing last night; you could see those people who were literally itching for intermission to arrive so that they could get back to the bar, and then coming back laden with enough booze to get them through the 2nd half.

Such a good point.

It's astonishing how often this happens; and is such a blatant tell for someone who is in those early stages of being worried about their drinking... running through all those (pointless) tests trying to determine if they were "as bad" as you and whatnot.
