I feel like the condom example is different because you're putting someone else at risk, but fat complaints about alcohol are spot on. I horrified a colleague the other day by saying I enjoyed a couple frosty beers while doing chores around the house on a Saturday and that meant I had a drinking problem. Having the barest of buzzes while cleaning windows surely does more harm than smothering your internal organs and eating what I swear to Christ was a Tupperware of several cans of Zoodles for lunch.
