    I can live without booze but for me it became a coping issue for social situations and if I was upset about something I would drink to forget (past tragic events). I usually would drink just on the weekends and maybe have a drink during the week. As far as weight; I didnt really gain weight but the alcohol made it difficult to lose weight. It was difficult to quit drinking-I am a member of the Elks Lodge (which is essentially a bar) and my husband is a beer enthusiast (past frat boy). He put a kegerator in our garage...It is difficult to quit when your life is surrounded by...well, drinking alcohol.
    I am 32 years old and I still don't know my limit. Just be careful and be sure you are surrounded by people you trust.

    Being 18 and having some out of control alcohol binges now and then is normal. Try having a glass of a no alcohol drink on between and see how you get on.

    I am more worried about you drinking whilst on an anti depressant however, as alcohol is a natural depressant and influences your mood swings. I have had my stint on the happy pills myself, be careful of mixing alcohol with them, as tempting as it might be, it's really not the greatest option out there.
