What's grey area drinking?
Answers from the sources
Prepared Sobriety
“Grey area drinking is the space between social drinker and alcoholic. You're not drinking every day, you're not blacking out, you're functioning at work and with family. But alcohol has become a quiet concern. You've set rules, only weekends, only wine, and they haven't held. You're thinking about it more than you used to.”
