Drink has got to go, I'm not compatible.

I live in a culture where it is perfectly normal to drink to excess and not feel alienated.

My problem lies where everybody has the sense to draw the line and I want more.

I can't stop- rather than deal with the consequences of the morning after I carry on.

Even though I know the right thing to do, I totally ignore it even after weighing up the pros and cons.

I've concluded it's me or the drink.

    You are right John.  Some of us just can't cope with drink.

    It took me long time to realise it and still struggle.

    I find that if one smaller in size like me tolerates drink less.

    I would go out with my tall friend.

    She drunk the same amount or more as me but it was me who got drunk :-)

    I wish you strength.

    I feel you. You're not alone. Just take a breath and see what you can do to make the situation change for the better.
