I just want to give you my opinion, hopefully it might help you :smile: a few of the questions should allow different answers, like i said with the wine one, i think the actual answer wasnt one of your options as you said 2-3 and 4-5 and i think its between 3-4. With some questions it was not always clear if we could tick more than one box. Also with the number of drinks question, it totally depends on the drink, for example you can drink more low-alcohol cider's than you could trebble vodka's and again you could have more small glasses of wine than large glasses of wine. xx

Honestly, I'd say pressure. Not that I don't enjoy it, but when I'm at a party or pub people expect you to drink and you often get wierd looks if you don't. But also it makes me feel better/more confident/makes everything around you somehow more amusing.

2 drinks every night however, I would.

That is not binge drinking, Binge drinking is drinking more than twice the daily limit in one sitting, two drinks a night is not binge drinking at all... in fact I think you will come to find it is pretty much the average amount of drinks for people once they come home from work.

Although I myself do not drink any more I did as a teenager and yes I drank a lot, but I often saw people who drank much more than me and I know other teenagers who go out and drink a lot, even if I did not know these people there is enough shown in TV programmes (I don't mean sitcoms or fictional tv shows, I mean documentaries) to know what goes on.

Because now we’ve reached this age, most of us can now drink at home which means that it’s much more controlled. I don’t know of many people who go out to get wasted every week, it’s just very rare.
