Answers:
Drinking a beer or two with dinner is insignificant!.
Getting too drunk to come home and having memory loss is a strong sign of alcoholism!. From personal experience with a couple of my friends!.!.!.!.!.!.she will probably not listen if you attempt to talk with her!. That doesn't mean you can't say something!. Just realize that most alcoholics know they have a problem, are totally unable to control themselves, and resent anyone who meddles in their business!.
She has enough of the risk factors to be very concerned!. Unfortunately, most addicts have to reach a point where they have no other choice but reach for help!.
Being close to an alcoholic is also quite difficult!. You can get information from AA that will help you deal with the problem!. The more information you receive the easier to give help!.
Good luck and many prayers for you and your friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If she's in her first year of college, this might just be a temp thing!. I'm in college and I know a lot of girls and guys who have been drinking a ton just cause they can, because they're finally free or something!.
Also, party animals tend to drink a lot because they enjoy it, but they sometimes can't see how nasty it really makes them look!. Maybe video tape her when she's really drunk to show her what she looks like!. This worked with my friends annoying drunk-all-the-time roommate!. In fact, she hasn't had anything but pop and water since she saw the video, she was so horrified by what she looked like drunk!. She was so embarrassed!.
If not, you may want to tell her your worried about her drinking, and offer to help her find some help!. Sometimes people who need help are too afraid or ashamed to get help, or they just don't know where to go or how to find the help they really need!.
Good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
