u pose some thoughtful questions, riana. i don't know your age group. i believe the best rule of thumb is, if you drink/drug to gain a feeling or drink/drug to get rid of a feeling with repeated use it can lead to a problem..drug addiction or alcoholism. once that occurs we don't control it, it controls us. not everyone is affected by alcohol in a negative way but too often or too much also contributes to addiction.
hope this helps.
