The abstinence thread

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.

yeah i have hit that level over the past few years, been caught off gaurd twice when the company and drink was very good and the night flew by.
I also found buying better wines and spirits makes you take your time. i have an amazing bottle of armagnac that has last over 2 years. its one to savour
