For clarification, I didn’t mean meme was right that Petite had a problem (who knows what really goes on in Petite’s life), but about their views on alcohol consumptions, sorry should have made that clear.

The key question for me is how do you know when the “by choice” has turned into “no choice” and how do you prevent this?

imo, nobody has an alcohol problem unless THEY say they do, or a judge (or a sig other) makes that assessment for them.

non-alcoholics adjust their drinking based on experience. some even quit.

alcoholics have no choice. one drink is too many and five are not enough. almost always.

Petite appears to drink, even way too much sometimes, by choice.

with all her newly-found success, she can now afford a chauffeur on ‘girls’ nite out’ (sometimes known as ‘girls gone wild,’ but PA wouldn’t know for sure).

@ Normal Person: yeah me too. And someone who thinks blacking out during drinking sessions is ok (and “normal”) is probably not the one… I don’t know about Petite (I do realise she is not a heavy drinker), but I know blackouts do freak me out.

Mind you, I think Petite is quite safe, it was her hen night and she had plenty of friends around to look after her. Also, she lives in France, and I don’t believe the alcohol led debauchery that seems to have hit the UK has reached France yet…not that I have seen.

Glad you had a great time – sounds like a brilliantly normal hen night to me. Petite, you shouldn’t feel like you have to justify yourself to Meme.

Meme – get over yourself and chill out.

I know who I’d rather go out for a drink with!
