Firstly… I had NO IDEA what grey area drinking was a few weeks ago! So I’m no expert.
The purpose of this blog is to research this new phenomenon and to go on a journey of exploration together. I’m of the opinion that information is power… so I’ll find the information and we can all find the power together!
Here’s what I know so far (in my words!)
Grey area drinking is a space between being a light, social drinker that can easily stop at a couple of drinks (literally one or two… not a couple of bottles!) and a full blown alcoholic. It’s a space where drinking and everything associated with it is kink of a problem, but not really enough of a problem for you to really worry too much about. A space where you could probably give it up if you wanted to… but you most likely won’y because you don’t want to give up.
It’s just really grey.
Not one. Not the other.
Not a problem. But still kind of a problem.
Grey. Stuck in-between.
For today… let’s just keep it here. If you’re anything like me, this will be enough to start you thinking about the Grey Area and I’m sure you’ll have people and stories rolling around in your head after learning about this, welcome to the conversation!
I’ve included a couple of links here to get the ball rolling on your own research. Let me know what you think!
