The idea of drinking seems so very individual, based upon how drinking affects each individual. For instance, I can drink once a week or once a month with no negative repercussions and no cravings, thankfully. My best girlfriend has serious trouble with a glass of wine. We metabolize the alcohol differently and the effects are very different. I never drink around her because I don't want to trigger her into cravings or into drinking. I don't mind setting it aside for a friend. My friendships are a priority.
