 Drinking
OK, first things first, this is not a "I have a friend..." thing that I really mean me. I make Carrie Nation look like a drunk, so trust me I may have issues but drinking is not one.  Recently a friend of mine pointed out that whenever they talk to a mutual friend who they speak to alot more often than I do, that this person is always drinking.  Now this person is a good person, has a job they love from all I can tell from their words and what they tell me, is a great parent, loves their kids with all their heart, and is having a great life.  So I do not see any CURRENT pain that they may be having that would make them drink as much as it appears they do.  Now who knows, there may be some deep past hurt so deep that no matter what happens now that makes them happy they can not feel good.  But when I hear from this person they are happy, happier than they have ever been!  So my question is this, do you say something or not?  Maybe it is timing, maybe when I and moreso my friend speak with this person they happen to be drinking and they have one or two wines and they are fine..although it usually is mire than wine.  I had a family member when i was younger that was about my age that I was sure was a an alcoholic, but unless he is the highest functioning drunk I ever met, he is no drunk !  So tell me, advise me, I like this person and want them happy and want them to not mess up good things that they may have coming to them soon because of this.

How about having a "its not about you" conversation about drinking. Just a general converstaion about how excessive drinking can cause problems in the future. Then you aren't pointing out to them that they personally are making a mistake...you are just planting the seed.
