>>Cathy - in general, I agree with your choice. The one piece you might want to consider is somehow helping them to know that if they don't have the addiction gene, there is a middle ground between drinking too much and not drinking at all. That is, that having a beer or two at a ballgame or a glass of wine with dinner now and then is acceptable, if you can do that and then stop.

>Tamar, so if I have a 6-10 beers some night at a bar with my buddies, is that unacceptable?
If you do that every night or even most nights, I'd suspect alcoholism. If you do that once a week, I'd question it. If you do that once a year for a special occasion, I wouldn't think twice about it, as long as you're not planning to drive home.
