Introduction	In my teens an twenties,I drank about 4 or 5 times a year. I never bought into the binge-drinking teen culture. I could have two wines on Christmas Day, a couple more on my birthday (2 days later), and a couple more on New Year' Eve. In the New Year, I'd be happy to leave such a "boozy" week behind. I probably wouldn't drink again for months and I wouldn't give a thought to when the next drink would be. I didn't sit down one day and decide to drown my sorrows. It started off feeling as though the nightly glass of wine was something "grown-up" I did for myself, after a day of seeing to the need's of a growing family. Slowly, it became a nightly bottle, rather than a nightly drink. Social drinking is not my problem. My particular brand of misery doesn't want company. It wants everyone to bugger off so I can finish the bottle on my own. I am very high-functioning - I have a responsible job, my own home, my kids always have cooked meals and clean clothes. Few would ever guess I have a problem.
