Dear Annie: I have a friend I’ll call “Scott.” We have known each other for 15 years or so and have been retired for the last few years. He enjoyed working before he retired due to a plant closure.

You don’t have to get intoxicated regularly to have a drinking problem. A few drinks a day can take a toll on your health, your family life, and your work.
