If any one of you have problems, do you drink? Drinking may not solve your problems but whenever my friends and I have problems, we drink and sometimes we go out. To cool off and forget for the meantime that we have problems. Then the next day, we'll have some funny memories of the night of drinking lol.

We drink mostly when we are cooking out or relaxing on a hot day but sometimes if we've had a rough day at work or something we might drink a little but not much

I wish my friends and I could also cook out or have a picnic with our families but then we can't drink if that happens because we have to take care of the kids. Yes, drink in moderation, we don't drink like there's no tomorrow, just to cool off or relax. Thanks for responding.

I also have a friend who doesn't drink, we never force her to join us but she compensates by providing humor (or a few rounds lol). Thanks for your response.

When my friends and I get to have a few hours out and about, we have a few occasional drinks but it's not to forget our problems, it's just to hang back, have a nice time and be away from our kids.

Thanks for responding. We drink not just to forget problems but to have some fun also, anyway when you're sober the problem would still be there.

We are occasional drinkers. Whenever we encountered depressed situation, we try to find something fun to do. Something is worth our time. We take drinking part of the program.

thanks for your response. Yes, when we're depressed we try to vent our depression and sometimes drinking helps to calm you down as well.

We friends drink whenever we have a reunion ( after a long period). I don't think drinking has ever been associated with problems for me. Drinking has always been a social event & to loosen the tongue muscles. Nor has drinking ever been to forget miseries. My personal experience has been the contrary, friends are forthright & open about sufferings when they drink & instead of forgetting the problem it becomes the focus of discussion that evening. All said & done drinking with friends is great fun.

yes, but we do not just drink because we have a problem, we also drink when we are celebrating someone's birthday or we are just out having fun. drinking is a nice stress reliever however i complain when someone does not know when to stop drinking and you need to help him when he's drunk because he cannot stand on his own, he cannot change his clothes, sometimes he loses money and cellphone after a drinking spree, i really do not like it when that happens. i cannot understand when some people do not know when to stop
