Depends: It depends on what you mean by "lightly" and "more than a couple?" seven is more than a couple. But seriously, what do you think if you were very honest with yourself? I have a feeling that if you are asking this here, you have some sort of concern. Why not go get yourself checked out just to make sure you are okay? What do you to lose? Maybe, this was your first step. See: www.Aa.Org. Good luck.
