In reply to:
he drinks 3-5 cans of lager
ok right. thats not an awful lot to be honest (unless its like export larger) i drink more than that every night, and i'm way from being an alcoholic
In reply to:
when we go out to meet friends he often gets really drunk
again, not a problem. when i go out with friends i get so drunk i usualy dont remember anything.
still, if they do it just for the hell of it, this person might have a big problem. alcoholism is very spesific to the individual, for example i'd NEVER drink to get drunk on my own. its just sad
