Guy in NYC stops drinking alcohol and coffee and says he saves $1000/month. Also thinks it's completely "normal" for someone to go out for drinks *every, single, day*. What do we think, /r/pf?\n"
  Self: "If he thinks having an alcoholic drink *every* day is normal, he is an alcoholic.  \n  \n&gt; While I was never a party animal anyways  \n  \nYes you were.  \n\n&gt; Because who says "Hey, let's just meet up as sober people and talk about stuff" -- Why the fuck would you do that?  \n  \nPeople without dependency issues do.....all the time. You are an alcoholic.  \n  \nSource: Worked in the healthcare field, specifically for substance abuse treatment (alcoholism and opioid dependence)"
  User (litecoinminer123): "Thank you. Most of this thread makes it seem like I'm insane for thinking that's a drinking problem. Society has really made it seem like drinking every single day and needing to drink to be social is normal."
  Jess_Starfire (Jess_Starfire): "I think there is a difference between someone having a drink with dinner every night or something like that and "I cant be around people without drinking" like the author wrote. \n\nThe whole "Because who says "Hey, let's just meet up as sober people and talk about stuff" -- Why the fuck would you do that?" thing baffles me. Why would you do that? because they are your friends and you want to spend time with them! "
