    If you are in a position where you need to defend your booze consumpion, you’re probably an alcoholic.

      Not really. Say you have one beer a week after mowing the yard. I could say, “If you aren’t addicted, then just quit.”

        I could say, “If you aren’t addicted, then just quit.”

        Did anyone actually tell you that 1 beer a week is too much? Because it’s not a real case scenario in my mind.
        And even if they really did it’s probably their own problem, and you don’t really have to defend yourself for doing that.
        In any other case, if a person tells you “hey, tone it down with the booze” you probably should.
