Ms. Kristen Saban will learn this lesson the hard way: alcohol can cause people some problems. Better decide whether it is worth the risks. When she thinks it all over, she should decide to stay away from it. Alcohol makes you fat, and, from what I've seen from her pictures, she needs to lose some weight, so, she should quit drinking. She can't handle it.

You sound like 2 of my best friend's wives this past weekend. We were at a friend's wedding and my friends and their wives got into a big debate with each other on whether or not the 2 friends of mine had drinking problems. Their wives contention was that while their husbands really on drank on weekends and not during the week they could be considered alcoholics because they could never get around friends and just have 2 or 3 drinks. They always binged the times they did drink and that binge drinking to them was considered a form of alcoholism. I'm not sure I'd agree as I think there can be a difference between having a "drinking problem" and being an alcoholic. I've always equated alcoholism with someone that is chemically addicted to alcohol and having a "drinking problem" as someone who is reckless or uses poor judgement when drinking and it causes them problems when they do drink. It sounds like Kristen at the very least has the latter. Either way, both are grounds for seriously considering giving up alcohol.
