It may be that I drink too much myself, but I really sympathised with Keith when he talked about how to talk about drinking with someone you're concerned about.

If you say "You drank from 3pm to 3am" but they know they weren't drinking very much during that time, it's easy to dismiss everything else that comes with it.

Keeping things simple, like "I think you're drinking too
much and it's affecting your health and our relationship" is much better than (for example) "The vodka is three inches lower in the bottle!" or similar silliness.

Slightly off topic but, there should be an "Is Keith an alcoholic?" poll.
(I vote no - so feel free to disregard the above)
