Personally, I can say that I have never been successful at drinking in moderation. It's like some internal switch is set in place to "MORE, PLEASE".
And good intentions are not enough, nor is willpower. This beast is a bad *ss enemy as far as I'm concerned. I'm OK around the stuff, but can't fall into a false idea that I can have Just One Drink, be happy with that, and walk away. It just plain has never happened with me that way.There are programs that advocate learning how to drink in moderation (which I've never tried). I don't know how successful they are.
