Firstly, I'd like to establish that I know it's none of my business, but a couple we are good friends with are drinking more and more every time we socialise with them and their 18 year old DS has been drinking illegally in pubs for about 3 years with fake ID and already has a huge beer gut.
Maybe I'm in the wrong but do you think this sounds like excessive alcohol consumption?
Met up at 12 noon for early lunch. Both of them drank 2 bottles of wine each with lunch. We then went to the pub (3pm by now) and by 7pm they had a further 8 pints of lager each. Me and DH were floored by this time (hadn't drunk nearly as much but were comparative lightweights). We got a cab home and I texted the following day to thank them for a good day out and asked how much longer they had stayed. She replied "Oh, we were there till midnight, I'm more lager than woman now ha ha".
Neither of them ever seem to suffer from hangovers or any obvious ill effects (although both are putting on a LOT of weight).
They are self employed and go out to the pub almost every night of the week.
They are good company and we only see them about once a month but every time they seem to be drinking more than ever.
Just wondered what others thought?
