HOW MUCH DRINKING IS TOO MUCH DRINKING?

It’s important to look at what’s happening to someone while they are drinking to answer this question.  Do they do things they regret (blacking out, getting sick, saying something embarrassing) on a regular basis?  Is someone concerned about their drinking?  Is it affecting academics or athletics?  Is it hard for them to take natural breaks from drinking (during the season, going home, etc)?
