I wish I could stop drinking. I'm not a big drinker, but I will have 1-2 drinks two times a week. Maybe once every two months I meet with friends and have a proper binge-drinking. It's not so bad it's a problem, I'm not 20 anymore and I can see it affecting me long term.
I've tried stoping a few times. I managed up to 3 months. But social gatherings kill me, everything is better/funnier with a glass of wine.
I wish there was an alternative pill that made me feel the same way as two beers with no health impact.
I am not prescribing anything. I don't really understand how you could have interpreted what I said to be such a thing.
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.

Don't prescribe what others should view as a desirable path.
