Using alc as a reward is def not ideally healthy behavior. Focusing more on whether itll make op gain weight over the fact that shes using alc as an emotional safety crutch is so yuck. Op, youre not yet in the danger zone but the reason youre drinking is the logic that can progress into alcoholism. Id be careful and if u wanna talk to me ab it ive been there u can dm me

#2 thank you for behind honest bc this is a hard talk scenario. Op is drifting into dangerous territories and there are healthier behaviors and other coping mechanisms to help deal with stress.

Of course! Any time drinking becomes a habitual response to stress, no matter the quantity, that is cause for reflection. While i personally dont think its *ideal* to have one drink every day, its much diff to drink a yummy beer with dinner than it is to need a glass of wine at the end of a day to get you through it.
