1-2 drinks twice a week and occasionally having the odd night out on town isn't a problem.
Don't prescribe what others should view as a desirable path.
Having two drinks and a night out where you have a few too many isn't a big deal. This is fairly normal, especially if you are under 35. It's probably best if you don't binge drink, but they were talking about it as if they had a big problem, which is quite obviously not the case.
I am a recovered/recovering alcoholic, I can't enjoy drinking responsibly, but I can recognise that other people can. I was simply giving a level-headed assessment of what is and isn't a problem. Scolding me for giving that assessment is asinine and I don't appreciate it.
