haha, fuck, what? seriously?
I averaged more than a bottle of wine a day for several years and that still wasn't anywhere near a drink problem.

I used to go through 8 bottles of Grolsch per night for a few months
That wasn't good for me.

depends, really, on the person and how it affects them.
Didn't really cause me any issues bar recycling being a pain. But it's much more about how and why you drink then how much. Although 8 bottles a night is quite a lot.

Tbh, I drank them because they were on offer
When the offer changed, I stopped. I was drinking them at home, alone.

I'd think the calories in that much beer was the biggest health issue
unless you were drinking them all in an hour. Over an long evening, that's processable by most people's livers without too much hardship.

In that case, a cautionary tale for you

nowt wrong with drinking on your own.
Unless you are doing it to make being on your own seem better.

Tmb, he say, "first learn to love your own company. If you don't like your own company, why the fuck would anyone else like it?"

I don't tend to drink alone much anymore

That's all I ever do.

If you start drinking with your dogs
it's gone too far. Mine had a real control problem after a couple of pints. Slurring her barking, offering anyone that walked past "outside" ... nightmare.

I have cats.
The dogs belong to my parents.

Well I only drink alone or with other people.
Also: I ain't drunk. I'm just drinkin'.

Exactly.
I drink to make other people interesting.

That explains the bash...

Well, you couldn't seriously expect us to talk to one another if we were sober, could you?

Oh! We need to have another bash
that I can attend. I was thinking on April, but now I don't know if I'll be here or not. We need to go dancing, and drinking, and celebrate my wedding in a good way!

Definitely

With a bit of luck
we can have one in Chile! Or in Madrid (might be easier)

I know
we were having problems at the time. I asked him if it was ok for me to go on a trip with my girl friends for a weekend, and he was going to explode with rage. He didn't like me having a life without him, so tried to scare me telling me that I'll be like my mother and my uncle, and I was becoming an alcoholic.

the fact that you even had to ask if it was OK
would suggest running for the fucking hills and not ever stopping is the only solution. Thankfully it appears you did.

Yeah... it's so easy to see now, isn't it?
Why am I so silly, I don't know.
