Thanks, Angelina. Well, yes, if I don't want to drink then I don't - but it's not very often that I don't want to... I had a week off before a 20 mile running race recently to clear my system - ended up dropping out of a race for the first time ever in my life!
No, I never get out of control - it's weird - I drink 9 or at the most 10 glasses and suddenly I've no desire at all for another drink - I'll even leave half a glass because I can't face it.
Seems like I'm addicted to 9 glasses of wine - no more or less - 6 days a week.
