ditto

im having my carling now
Hmm

Been there, done that, tho i was usually drinking about 6 cans+ a night, and that went on for a few weeks, then i started on cider. And vodka. Anything really. I just didn't care. I was suffering badly from depression, and also founf the alcohol made me more liley to self harm. Twice i'd gone out to a club depressed,a nd SH in the toilets. I'd never done that in public before and i'm ashamed for letting it get so bad. I agrred with my bf i wouldnt keep any booze in my room, tho i do still occasionally have a bevvie, i never get drunk alone anymore.
I wouldn't be too worried if it's really just 2 cans a night, unless it increases. You can't get drunk on 2 pints i'm sure! Just be wary if you start craving a few more because it might slowly increase and become a problem.

you really better stop drinking by yourself because whilst now it may not seem like such a major problem when you get older into your late 20's and 30's thats when drinking becomes a very serious issue and can lead to problems in your life (career, relationships etc)
