I appreciate your concern but I've been handling things this way for ~12 years now and it hasn't escalated. If anything I drink less now than in the past. I'm not worried. I don't even like getting drunk. What I'm defensive about is the implication that I'm an alcoholic from someone that knows next to nothing about my life and is probably unqualified to make that determination anyway. Especially when they ignore half of what I'm telling them and just says that I'm lying. As I said before if anyone has any better ideas I'm open to suggestions but so far nothing else I've tried gets the job done.
