good lord, what's the problem with getting drunk every now and then? It doesn't fundamentally change one's moral character or the validity of one's relationships. I've been with my girlfriend for over two years now, things are still going very well, and <gasp> i went out last night without her and got drunk.
my guess here is that the people who are so quick to say that someone who "parties" cannot have a steady relationship is simply not experienced with drinking and thus wishes to demean this act with which he/she is not familiar.

IMHO, there's just a slight difference here. We're not talking normal college girl type antics like overdoing it at a kegger party and having one too many playing beer pong or sucking down a couple more cups of electric jello than she should have. This girl, from how she's being described, is the type who sounds like she routinely pounds down a half-liter of Jack and chases it down with four shots as she did that night. Her actions don't sound like occassional binge social drinking, but rather like borderline alcoholism.

What indications do you have that this is "borderline alcoholism"?? Sounds to me like she had a good night, perhaps had a bit much booze, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Read my thread about why my drunken ex does. You think that's normal and acceptable too?
A-HA! But she's not rebounding! She's been with the guy for a year. She told me yesterday she doesn't view sleeping with other people as cheating anymore. Whoo-eee. What a mess.
