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.

that isn't self control, that's not liking drinking too much. so it's very easy to stop if you're enjoying it anymore. self control is stopping when you don't want to.
