Im with you Cathy. I cannot stand a drunk. I grew up with two for parents. I have had my fill lol. My folks were mean drunks. They drank and wanted to fight. Jon has one buddy who is an alcoholic but he is a lovey dovey drunk. You can always tell when he is hammered he leaves these messages on our machine about how much he loves us lol.
I myself cannot stand drunks, but the term drunks needs to be defined..
Myself, I think of a drunk as someone who needs to drink. Someone who cannot cope with reality unless they are drunk. They drink due to personal problems, and rarely to just blow off steam.
Now someone who occasionally just enjoys a crazy night out with friends and perhaps pasts their limit, to me isn't a drunk, they are someone who is drunk.
Honestly, all this talk has reminded me that I am way overdue for a night out with the boys.. In fact, I think I am going to make it a priority this weekend to get out one night.. Thanks everyone!

Jon's friend who is the alcoholic dumped a girl he was seeing because she took anxiety meds. He said he didnt want to be involved with someone who was dependent on medication in order to cope with things. I said and what do you think you do with your drinking?? Personally I think she was to good for him.
