The only people I know who do drink during the week do have a drinking problem.
Wow. I know lots of people who drink during the week. And I don’t know anyone who has a drinking problem (anyone at all).
Maybe we hang out in different crowds, or maybe we define drinking problem differently.
I define it as having an addiction, which is a technical term used by psychologists, and I think refers to a certain type of dependency which is caused by emotional or chemical needs.
