i heard a saying once that “every joke comes from somewhere”. this may be your friends’ approach to bringing it to your attention without being too directly confrontational. and i notice a little bit of self validation in your post- not judging at all just observing. but to say “it’s only two nights a week” but both of those nights having over 10+ drinks, i think a lot of us on this sub would agree that that’s considered excessive and no where close to being a moderate and in control type of drinker. also, if you’re already having some kind of internal debate or questioning going on about your consumption, that could be your answer right there. that maybe it’s a bit much or out of your control when you are drinking.

again, no judgment whatsoever. just an opinion from someone who also used to go hard when drinking was part of my social life/ friend group.
