LabelHow serious problem is Mark's drinking?Q478
Question text Now here is a different situation. Mark is 20 and is a student with a weekend job. He doesn't drink much during the week but he and his flatmates spend most Friday and Saturday nights out drinking. He is often unable to remember bits of what he did the night before, and is sometimes so ill the following day that he can't go to work. From time to time Mark does something when he's drunk which he later regrets. First, how serious a problem would you consider Mark's drinking to be, or do you not think it's a problem?
