I think that is
exactly right, Quinn. Observe, recognize and separate from your AV.
I don't have an alcoholic or even a drinking partner, so I have no direct experience to share with you. I think you did just great - you now have a boundary about alcohol that cannot be crossed. I found that I was lacking some other boundaries in my daily doings and insisting that the alcohol one be respected helped me with the other ones too.
I am sure there are lots of guys who would love to get to know a smart strong woman like you. Stay the course, Quinn. Onward!
