I so rarely drink, a pint of shandy has an immediate effect on me now ... not that I desperately stay away from drinking, it just isn't something I do very often. I have a couple of bottles of Whisky at home, also Port and Marsalla and all that, but they last me forever. I pull them out when I had some nice grub with friends that came over or something like that.
If I go out I usually have 1 glass of wine and then stop, as I am lightly drunk by the end of that for sure.
I blame this change of metabolism on cycling and sports in general. Used to be able to neck 10 pints and have two packs of fags with it, if I was out for an all night bender, but nowadays I just don't do that kindo shit anymore ...
Anyway, I think what Damo says ... if you're trying to drink less it's probably smart to just drink less, instead of forcefully turning yourself into a tee totaller and then crave a drink all night.
