It doesn't matter what we think. This is something that you are going to have to work through together.

However, my GF of 4 months gives me a hard time about it, always mentioning that it borders on alcoholism (ridiculous imo!), that I need to STOP as it's concerning her etc.

In addition, she is not a regular drinker but I have seen her drink heavily on at least 1 occasion and she excuses that because it's wine and it's very occasional rather than daily. I beg to differ, I think it's better to drink small doses of alcohol daily rather than binge drink once every 1-2 months.

I think she has issues with the regularity of it...she believes one should not drink daily, only occasionally

Do I need to change girlfriends? LOL!

Alcoholism is not the amount one drinks it is the NEED for the alcohol.

Once you figure out what being an alcoholic really is you can then determine if you need a new girlfriend.
