Not a huge fan of the way it's framed here. This is a very personal experience framed as very general guidelines. And some of the assumptions I find a little much: - if you drink alcohol, you probably need therapy - you only think you come from a functional family because you drink alcohol Also: there are many types of drinking alcohol! Drinking a glass every once in a while, Vs getting drunk every weekend, etc. I wish the author had been clearer on where they were coming from instead of lumping everyone together. She mentioned she was from London, where I hear the drinking culture can be heavier, closer to "go for a few drinks after work every day", which is useful context for a lot of the "side-effects" she experienced. I'm also always generally perplexed by people's relationship to their culture. This person sounds like they're in a complicated web of push/pull with their culture and expectations from it. I've personally never really felt those; I make up my own mind whether to follow or not what my culture does. Someone drinking alcohol or not is just registered as a boring trait for me, like their eye colour or hair colour. It's so entirely inconsiquential. If someone pushes on that: I just don't care? But that's just me. And I can understand how it might be different in a heavier drinking culture.
