If Someone Has 11 Shots a Day?

Question by luvhrtz: If someone has 11 shots a day?
are they an alcoholic? I’ve been debating with a girl friend of mine. She has 6-13 shots a day; depending on the day but usually 11 in total. She says she has 2 at lunch with a meal. 1 when she get’s out of work, 1 when she get’s out of the gym, 1 when she’s making dinner, 2 at dinner, and another 3 sporadically before bed. She says it’s fine because it’s never to many at one time and that she never becomes buzzed or drunk. I just think 11 is way to much for someone to drink a day even if they are spread apart.

I’d like to have a better way of communicating with her how this can be detrimental to her health, but I’m not sure how. Any suggestions or is it ok for her to have so many being spread out like that??

Answer by me
sounds like shes using alchohol to not deal with reality. that is alot to do especially when your’re not partying and you are just going about your everyday routine.send her to rehab.

well, i say if she HAS to have those 11 shots of liqour every day she is an alcoholic…..alcoholism is only a valid diagnosis if she feels that she cant cope without those 11 shots daily…..
