Fell off the wagon for a night. Back on.
I'm one of the few alcoholics who can regularly stop at two (one, most of the time). Accidentally had three this past weekend. At four, I'm heading for 24 so I don't like to go too close to that edge. Two is my limit.

Re: Fell off the wagon for a night. Back on.
I have to be so careful. If I accidentally have 4 drinks, I lose control and there's no stopping me. The only time I really screw up is when someone fills my wine glass without me noticing.

Re: Fell off the wagon for a night. Back on.
Alcoholism runs in my family so I've seen the effects first hand.
Good on ya for keeping a handle on it. “Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.” - Thomas Jefferson

IMHO there is no such thing as an Alcoholic who can regularly have a drink or two and eventually not end up in a bad place. I've been down that road more times than I care to admit and the outcome was always the same. Be careful Nick.

Re: Fell off the wagon for a night. Back on.
Good Man!! I only allow myself to have a half flute of champagne at events such as weddings or New Year's. I always hated champagne so I have no fear of cravings....but I can sure catch a buzz on a half flute!!

Re: Fell off the wagon for a night. Back on.
Heck, Nick, I honestly don't know how you could do what you do sober!
You are about the same as me. When you start liking it (drinking, or anything) too much, it's time to scale back a bit and re-evaluate. Just keep on keeping on, buddy. You'll do fine.
