There’s been something bothering me over the last few days since rumours started flying amongst some of my friends here in Regensburg that I appear to have some kind of alcohol problem.

Now, seriously what constitutes an alcohol problem? On Wednesday night I went out in Regensburg with another girl here & happened to get a little bit drunk.  Does that make me someone who gets battered “as per usual”?  Fair enough, when I go out, which would like to add, is around once a week & for a student that really isn’t that much, I do tend to get quite drunk, I can have a good night without drinking anything, but it makes me more relaxed & enables me to have even more fun.  I think the problem here is that the people who I am friends with don’t drink or tend not to drink (for the record:  I don’t mean Pawel!) so therefore I look like the pisshead who just gets drunk “as per usual” (I re-quoted for effect).

So, to conclude, does going out once a week & having a few drinks & having a dance make me an alcoholic? 

No.

It makes me your typical student.
