Hi Hendrix - I think you have to look at what constitutes "moderate drinking." For guys, it's 2-3 drinks per day max (one drink = a beer, 5 oz. wine, or 1 1/2 oz. liquor). I can't remember ever following those guidelines or having a small glass of wine for my "health."
It's great that you're trying, though. I had to do the same thing before I finally gave up and accepted my drinking for what it was.
We all just want the very best for you.
