      I’m told a person needs to tackle first the thing causing the most anxiety. Ha, that’s what I preach to my boyz. So, in my case, perhaps strength training & cardio needs to start with housework!

            You (or at least I) can tell when I drink too much I make a-hole posts. I always did...either you guys never noticed or you always just assumed I'm always an a-hole.

                You just kind of blended. There was no shortage of a-hole posts by all of us.

                    Though one point of pride for me is I’m just as capable of being an asshole sober as drunk.

                        I am a one drink and done type. Usually Scotch or Bourbon with a fine cigar.

                        I do this only on nice weather weekends starting Friday after work then again on Saturday night. On occasion, I will do Sunday evening as well.

                        In the winter months I do not imbibe. It is 100% a nice weather, weekend thing.

                        I never feel bad the next day. I do feel very tired after that one drink.

                          i like beer but i dont drink more than a pint (here we would call it 500 ml) because its just becomes too much liquid sloshing around. thats maybe once a week at dinner

                          as for wine, when we (the mrs and I) open a bottle of wine at dinner, we wil usually finish it before bed, i just dont put wine in the fridge ever, once its uncorked its drunk, thats maybe once a week.

                          dont really do cocktails or anything else, although i get so much whiskey as gifts from patients but dont really use it that often.

                          i think the last time i was "drunk" to the point of silliness was in college. and thats a long time ago.

                          so i dont think i have any alcohol issues...if i dont drink at all during the week i dont really give it a thought.

                            You guys have persuaded me. I'm going to start just having one beer on Friday's and Saturdays from now on.

                              I rarely drink alcohol now. At some point, your body just isn’t happy with it anymore - for me, even just one drink, two for sure (especially wine) can trigger a migraine, or can make me feel under the weather the next day - it doesn’t always happen, but it happens enough that it’s just not worth it. I love beer and wine, but I don’t like wasting a day anymore. I drink NA beer or soda water when I want something cold and fizzy now. The saddest part is - when you no longer drink - you start to notice how many of your friends and relatives really do have issues with alcohol - even though they manage to function during the day.
