LabelHow serious problem is Karen's drinking?Q484
Question text Now here is a different situation. Karen is 20 and is a student with a weekend job. She doesn't drink much during the week but she and her flatmates spend most Friday and Saturday nights out drinking. She is often unable to remember bits of what she did the night before, and is sometimes so ill the following day that she can't go to work. From time to time Karen does something when she's drunk which she later regrets. First, how serious a problem would you consider Karen's drinking to be, or do you not think it's a problem?
