Is It Normal To Have 1.5ltr Wine 4-5 Times A Week?

I'm 22yrs old. I drink prob 4-5 times a week. most ppl my age do though. however, i'm having more and more friends comment on my drinking. and i'm wondering if i do maybe have a problem. I can drink a 1.5lt of wine to myself watching movies. and if im with friends and no one wants to drink i still do, they bug me but it's their decision to NOT drink, why should it inhibit my want TO drink,,,, r they right? i know 'its healthy to not drink' but everyones young at a point and everyone has a stage.

Psychologist 's  Response
The generalization of a bad deed is not justifiable though, I would suggest you to check your capacity with a positive orientation. It is not that how much you drink and how much you can withstand. This is the time for your planning for a better future. Check what are the things acceptable can be done for your betterment with the regard of society. The spiritual side of your mind and your friends say you to abstain; but your pleasure drive says you to stick to it. The animal instinct of seeking pleasure is natural, but it does not assure you of any guarantee of your maintaining better future, career, relations and overall health. Have some gratification for the future as well.

If you find yourself unable to stop or abstain from the habit of drinking, check for the de-addiction program available in town or elsewhere. The Mental Health professionals with their expertise and your willingness will work wonders !
