I don't think amandalouise was saying that you were drunk or that you may be an alcoholic. I think the point she was making is that even a little bit of alcohol CAN affect your ability to stay present. Even just one drink can make you more likely to dissociate. It may not cause you to black out, like being really drunk can, but for a person who has problems with dissociating, it can aggravate it and make it more likely to happen. Does that make sense?
