I’m an alcoholic, so I don’t allow myself to have alcohol at home. If I go out, I have a pretty strict four drink maximum. On rare occasions I’ll drink more if I’m with friends at some kind of event or spending the night out at clubs.

The smart option would be to stop drinking, especially considering the damage alcohol has done to my life. I’m probably not going to anytime soon though, because I love drinking and this system has worked really well for 4 years.

Back in the day, I used to put down at least half a liter of liquor a night. Shit was expensive.

Considering your past, it seems like you're doing great, man, congrats! We can't be perfect but we can get better.
