Jolinda almost never drinks at home with her family, but occasionally on week ends she gets together with a group of female friends for dinner and conversation. On the rare occasions when she has more than one or two drinks she says that she feels drunk and dizzy. Jolinda is known among her social group as the one who “can’t hold her liquor,” and is sometimes the subject of friendly teasing among the group.

Alex loves to entertain and socialize with friends and family. His dinner parties are legendary for their fine food and wine, and creating new recipes and shopping for hard-to-find ingredients is one of his favourite hobbies. If he were asked to quantify his drinking, Alex wouldn’t know where to start – alcohol is very much a part of his life, yet he has a successful career and a close relationship with his adult children, although his wife sometimes “nags” him about his drinking. Although he drinks a lot on many occasions, his friends have only rarely ever seen him “drunk”.
