![]() I think things like - "today was an easier day at work, I'll pass on drinking" "I drank the last 3 days I should take a break" "I spent the weekend drinking a lot with friends so I'll skip the workweek this time". You can just pay attention to how much and how often and moderate yourself. I don't think "everyday or only on the weekends" are your only options though. Alcohol is one of those things where if you really enjoy it, don't pay attention, make it a habit, things can slowly get out of hand. So I very much think your GF has a reasonable concern and you should try to cut back. It may never be physical dependency, but emotional dependency is still an issue you might find yourself needing help with. And if I really can't go without for a week I'll know I have a problem. So I fell into a certain pattern of gradually increasing, then cutting myself off, drinking less for awhile. I will also sometimes just try going without for week and usually after that week I'm like "damn, I really should drink less often". It also results in a better experience when you do drink. Cutting myself off from the cheaper/worse(price and quality don't perfectly match but you get the idea) stuff seems to make me more considerate of whether I'm drinking for enjoyment or drinking habitually or cope with emotional stuff. One thing you could do is just buy better liquor if you're not already. I wouldn't say the ideal life necessarily involves not drinking, but it's easy to go from "moderate, reasonable amount of drinking" to habitual, problem drinking where it's making your life worse instead of better. You have to make a judgement about whether this is a good way for you to live - I think it's not, even at the 1 drink a night amount. I have done 4+ shots of liquor per day for weeks or months occasionally(after my last dog died). I am drinking a manhattan riff right now right after work so. However, there's that trade off you're making for enjoyment. It's also bad for your energy level and sleep quality, this is another thing that's quite easy to observe on your own. Unfortunately the internet is flooded with bad science and health / food related is among the worst topic to try to find good info on if you don't know how to filter out the garbage. And even the amount that's supposedly good for you is very small. Most of the arguments that it's good for you are using bad studies that haven't shown its the alcohol content itself is resulting in the health benefit - "a glass of red wine" doesn't mean the alcohol in the red wine is what's good. The available evidence is just overwhelming. It is certainly bad for your health according to most reputable experts on the matter, and this is something that should also be observable to people who've compared drinking and not drinking for stretches of time with close attention. Normal doesn't matter, whether it's good to do and good for you matters.
