How many times has Kim actually blacked out?? Does blacking out one time doom someone to be considered an alcoholic?? I certainly hope not because once I also drank too much and I did black out - but it was once in my entire 57yrs. on earth so I really wouldn't consider myself an alcoholic. Some people like to have a glass or two of wine each evening. I call that social drinking unless a person goes from just 'liking' to have to absolutely 'needing' to have. I think Kim just likes it and I don't think that makes her an alcoholic. She explained about the plastic cup and I believe she really did try to do that in deference to Christie's problem. Kim was trying to be thoughtful to the effect it may have had on Christie to see someone drinking out of a wine glass but all Kim gets for her thoughtfulness is bashing by her housemates who try to turn the gesture around and use it against her. I think BOOHOOChristie is nothing but a big cry-baby and was actually just looking for an excuse to get everyone started up on Kim again - I notice BOOHOO didn't seem to take much of an issue with everyone else's drinking. Toadie and YESLisa are just plain two-faced - they didn't seem to have a problem joining in the drinking party until BOOHOO started the Kim bash-fest and then suddenly the two of them joining in with BOOHOO and making an issue of Kim's behaviour. Maybe if Kim had the 50-100 lbs. like Toadie and YESLisa have her body would have soaked the booze up better, much the way Toadie and YESLisa's bodies seem to have done.
