...Hi seashell6...
...I don't remember when I crossed the line but I was a binge drinker for many years...I use to binge drink when my gf was out of town and stop when she returned home but like madisgram said I started to get into a lot of trouble...usually wound up in jail or crashing my cars...Eventually I started to drink to numb my brain...I couldn't deal with my wreck of a life...I was a alcoholic before I ever took a drink...
