>have to give up alcohol (i.e your social life) completely

The thing about drinking is there's no instructions and the phrase "I drink" means something different to everyone.

When I say I drink I mean

"I have one or two pints if I'm out with friends on the weekend".

When my friend says he drinks he means:

"I have a pitcher right after work, and then maybe a couple pints if someone stops by and maybe a night cap and then on the weekend I'll usually get nutty"
