Drinking responsibly *generally* does not fit in the category of drinking to excess.
A bit of perspective in my statement: I grew up on a college campus (my mother was a student), so my experiences in watching people drink, from a very young age was: 1) my father getting drunk and being beligerent (until she divorced him when I was 4) followed immediately by 2) ~12 years spent on campus watching "frat-boys" getting drunk trying to act cool. I know plenty of people that can and do drink responsibly; kudos to them. It's the ones that drink to get plastered (not just once in a while, but every week, sometimes every day) that I was referring to.
