The abstinence thread

Very admirable, is it a case where you have no off switch? a well kept bottle of wine or seasonal Ale is majestic at times. I don't feel the need to Never drink.
But i have stopped getting drunk- destructive drunk - for fun

i guess it's about self control. i love the taste/flavours of good wine/beer/spirits but hate getting really pissed i have a switch that kicks in and i start drinking water or just stop the alcohol when i get to a certain level of inebriation. i hate the room spinning/confusion and the puking that can sometimes follow. it's been years since i have got that pissed but do occasionally get a bit merry and offend my dinner guests.
