Drinking too much

貪杯

A nice relaxing glass of wine after a hard day's work is one thing, but if one or both of you find yourselves drinking until you're legless most nights, it's a clear signal something's not right between you and that you're using alcohol to mask the shortcomings of the relationship.

緊張的工作之余來一杯輕松一下是一回事，但如果你或你倆差不多夜夜喝得找不著北，那毫不疑問，你倆之間出問題了，你們在用酒精掩蓋關系中的裂痕。

Unnecessary flare-ups are inevitable when there's too much booze involved.

一旦豪飲成了家常便飯，發生爭執肯定在所難免了。

Nobody wants to date a drunk so sober up or seek professional help before it's too late to salvage things.

誰愿意跟酒鬼在一起，所以別再貪杯，或者向專家求助，否則你將抱撼終生。
