"Assume that I have 2–3 cocktails every other day"

Ehhh what, sorry but my friends that have 2-3 every other day I would tell them they have a problem. Is it some shock to the author that this is unhealthy and expensive?

Depending how strong the cocktails are, 2 cocktails every other day doesn't seem to be much, if at all, over the NHS advice for regular drinking [1], for example. Would you really call out your friend as having a 'problem' based on that?

yeah, maybe not a problem but I would not call it "more than normal"
