Many people's alcohol habits exist in a fuzzy space between two extremes. So when is it a problem?
But even with thresholds and definitions in place, it’s not always clear when a person’s drinking has become problematic ― which is why groups like the CDC don’t say that a person’s drinking is a problem if they’re consuming, say, three drinks a night, three nights a week. Instead, they say drinkingfor a person if it causes trouble in their relationships, in school, in social activities, or in how they think and feel.
“My clients will say to me all the time that they function really well. Often they don’t have external consequences or stories, but they have internal questioning. That right there, where there’s that inner knowing, that’s the first thing to pay attention to.”, a health coach based in Denver whose practice focuses on gray area drinking. She described the two polar extremes of drinking as one person with severe addiction versus another person who never drinks, or only drinks a few times a year.
Gray area drinking can look very different for different people. Some people may rarely drink at home, but go out and drink in excess socially, leading toOthers might find they are not necessarily drinking so much that it gets in their way day-to-day, but they are drinking in a different way than they once did ― maybe as a relatively new coping mechanism for stress. Or maybe they’re simply thinking about alcohol more than they’d like.
Often the answer is abstinence, and many coaches, like Park, focus on an abstinence model. But not always.
