1) Do you drink alcohol more than once a week?
Usually, yes, but most of the time it takes me two hours to finish one beer in between chores. Maybe once a week I drink more than a beer or two.
2) Have you ever had a problem with alcohol consumption? (As told to you by others, if not admitted by yourself)
No.
3) When Is Alcohol a problem? What lines have to be crossed before a drinking habit affects an individuals or a families lives?
Alcohol can be a problem anytime, that part is relative. For me, it was a problem while I was pregnant, when I get too groggy to care for my kids during the night, when it causes fights, when it wastes money I don't have. BUT, I stopped drinking while pregnant, I don't drink liquor now that I have kids, I am cheap except on occasion, and I never drink to get drunk. Alcohol becomes a problem when you DON"T stop once you notice something bad happening, or potentially happening. It's a problem when you blame anything else BUT the alcohol.
