We’re a group of girls who love to get together and have a good time. We’re always on the lookout for something fun to do and we’re all into it, so someone is always messaging the group with a potential plan. We love the food and music festivals in the summer, the outdoor concerts all around southern Ontario and even the opportunities to venture further for wine tasting, etc.
We are all very close and love each other. And there isn’t anything we wouldn’t do for each other. However, one of us can’t hold her liquor.
She has one drink (or seven) and is tanked. She’s mostly funny, doesn’t give us any trouble and is always entertaining. She gets so drunk that one of us is in charge of holding on to her belt loop to keep her from falling down.
It’s a joke among us; who has the loop. But jokes aside, we’re worried about her. This can’t be healthy.
What do you think? I think it’s time for an intervention. If your friend is getting so drunk that she’s falling over, then she’s drinking too much. But if, as you say, she becomes extremely inebriated after only one drink, then perhaps she has a chemical imbalance or something else health related.
It would be a good idea for her to have a general checkup with her doctor. I would gently go that route first. My partner and I have been together nearly four years, living together almost since the beginning.
We’ve had a few ups and downs, as this is his first serious relationship and I wasn’t working when we firs.
