    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.

        Or drunk posts for that matter.

          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.

                      I’ve been able to curb my alcohol habit by injecting heroine. I’m down to just 2 glasses of beer a week!

                                  @89th Sounds like you are slowly loosing control. Get back in the driver seat. It's dangerous.

                                    Agreed. One of my grandpas was an alcoholic, not a pretty sight. For me, it's the first time all day (around 9pm) when I'm not working or with kids, so it's easy to go into relaaaaaax mode and enjoy the feeling. That being said, last night I went to be a tad earlier and had good sleep, and feel great this morning. Like @Horace says, I should chase this feeling instead, it's great.

                                        There are entire chunks of my kid’s childhood I can’t recall. I don’t know if it’s due to stress, exhaustion, or hangovers, but it bugs me when I hear “Hey, do you remember when …”, and I have zero recollection of certain vacations, parties, school events, Christmases, birthdays. Everyone else remembers but me 😞

                                          Reminds me of some jokes that old people tell, something along the line of "if you remember the 60s (or 70s), you didn't live it."
