Have a friend that before I largely stopped drinking I considered my canary in the coal mine because he probably still puts away at least 3-4 drinks a day, the employees at the corner store near his house all know him by name.

    You know you have a drinking problem when the bartender knows your name

    spoiler...and you've never been to that bar before

    There are lots of people who get drunk every day, and 3-4 is nowhere near what it takes to reach that level.

    It amazes me the amount that people spend, and the degree to which they punish their bodies for literally no benefit.

    I lost my best friend to alcoholism so I have a complicated relationship with it. He was worse off than your friend, at the end he was almost exclusively buying everclear. Him passing definitely was a bit of a wakeup call, I still enjoy having a few drinks once in a while but I'm definitely more aware of the possibility of it becoming a problem
