I am a 32 year old woman and I get drunk approximately once a month - sometimes to the point of blacking out. It happens only when I am out with people that annoy me. It's not something I do consciously but I end up consuming more and more alcohol to try to ignore how much they are bothering me.
The simple answer is to not go out with people like that and I'm working on it. I am mostly just wondering if this is normal or not - to drink too much because people are bothering you.
When I'm with people I like talking to I'm fine and I don't drink too much. I think this is probably something people figure out when they are younger than I am but I didn't start drinking until I was 25...so I'm kind of behind the curve on this one.

    Sounds like textbook binge drinking. Tbh I don't think there is anything wrong with getting hammered once a month, a lot of people drink almost as much on a far more regular basis. However, and I know this can be easier said than done, try and ease off just before everything goes black.

    I'm not sure what to think on this one...I have gotten drunk because of boredom, but I can easily control it. If you do it to the point of blacking out, restrict the amount you drink.
