It's a bit late for this but happy to pick up on another occassion, but

I do know a lot about this. The problem is not the drinking. The problem is what causes an individual to feel the need to drink to excess. Over and over again. I often drink to excess, I like a drink, but I don't feel compelled to drink. People often use alcohol to mask some fairly serious mental issues that would not be understood by anyone who had not had a similar experience. It helps them fit in and feel comfortable, and in many cases deal with what we may consider everyday life.

Just going for a top up.
