I feel that. Every couple nights I'll have a few beers and shoot bad guys online.

My brother brings it up as a thing saying it's an alcoholic sign, despite him being the largest drinker and irresponsible consumer of drugs I know.

I have only ever had a problem drinking alcohol with other people. When drunk all it takes is someone pointing at more booze and im at it. Downing things left right and centre. The slightest pressure to drink more would be met with me first saying no and then a second later, bottoms up. Its become an issue that ive hopefully sorted.

Alone I set my own pace and feel no need to over drink. Alcohol can make all sorts of things more enjoyable, movies to games to cleaning. Helped me get through some terrible group cinema trips thankfully. Only need one beer.

One beer is like having a diet pepsi or something. I need like 3-4 to feel anything :(

People who flip over this are people who can't separate drinking and having a beer. It's unwinding, not raging until the bars close.

I'd remind him that alcoholism is about consequences, not quantity.
