 Re: need advice
Hmmmm.... let me see if I can phrase what I'm thinking correctly:
She doesn't have a problem with the amount of alcohol. She has a problem with accepting who she is and what she likes when her inhibitions are dialed down by the alcohol. That can turn into an alcohol problem because it's very tempting to be who you want to be under the effects of a few drinks, then blaming the drinks when the inhibitions return with the hangover, and it can turn into a cyclical problem.
Been there, done that. Seen others do it.
Alcohol is not a problem when your desires and self-image are "wholly integrated" (my phrase), meaning that you like who you are whether you've got a few drinks on or not.
