Drinking too much

贪杯

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.

紧张的工作之余来一杯轻松一下是一回事，但如果你或你俩差不多夜夜喝得找不着北，那毫不疑问，你俩之间出问题了，你们在用酒精掩盖关系中的裂痕。

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

一旦豪饮成了家常便饭，发生争执肯定在所难免了。

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

谁愿意跟酒鬼在一起，所以别再贪杯，或者向专家求助，否则你将抱撼终生。
