    Drinking in moderation, how do you do it?

    NIAAA says one to two drinks a day (for a man) is moderation. What it doesn't say though is whether or not how you consume the alcohol effects the possible health benefits. Two drinks for me would be one big glass of wine. I could sip on it over the course of a meal, even going so far as to stretch it over an hour or two. Or I could down it in under a minute!

    My common sense says to stretch it out, and not just because it tends to be more enjoyable to do so. On the other I'm not really sure why I think that. Maybe it is just because it would be more enjoyable.


    What do you guys think? Or perhaps know?

        I think the number of booze related threads you start is an obvious cry for help with regard to your alcoholism.

          What would you say to somebody who even named themselves after a drink?

              If you drink whatever number you usually drink long enough, eventually your tolerance will man up and you can call that moderation.

                If you have to ask, you are an alcoholic. Stop completely.

                  Easy. Follow these three steps.

                  1- Have a drink.

                  2- Stop.

                  3- Repeat the next day.

                    Save up your one drink a day until Saturday and use them all up then.

                        I have learned that discussing drinking and moderation at this site is very dangerous.

                          Fill a pool with beer, call it "moderation".

                            One method that seems to work for me sometimes is not having a lot of cash when going out (or alternatively at home: not having any alcohol in the house).

                            Usually my friends just buy me beer and install me on a highway to drunk paradise. Sponging off friends is not beneficial, so it's not an ideal solution. Maybe drinking light beer could be? Then again that rubbish doesn't exist over at the old continent so I wouldn't know.

                              Seriously, I just know how many I want for the night, and stop there.

                              Like I will say '4 and that is it' or something like that. And honestly, I only do that on drinking nights, I generally just have 1 drink most of the time. Most of the time I drink 0 to be honest.

                              4 isn't enough to get me anywhere near drunk usually, still. I haven't had over 8 all this year, and while I was a bit drunk the time I had 8 it wasn't that bad.
