I think you cropped out the important part of the quote:

> It’s rare that I have more than a drink or two in one night.

I don't drink that often any more, but 2-3 drinks in a night, done occasionally is not a problem. I've had weeks where I drink a beer (or two!) every night, and also don't struggle with any alcohol problems.

2 drinks every single night? Leaning that way - and not great for you just from a health/caloric perspective.

I always wonder why people would make such obvious selective edits that completely change the meaning of a sentence and quote it as if it was what the author intended.

Do they not think people will notice? Or do they not notice that they've even done it?
