Moderating or trying to control what day, how much etc didn't work for me. I started drinking socially at age 25. At 40 I was drinking every week, but not everyday. Next thing I come to realize is that I'm 55 and am drinking 2 bottles of wine a night. Oh the mind games and lies....I have 10 months sobriety. I do it one day at a time in the AA program. Best of luck on the eye bags, I also think genetics plays a role too. :-D. Bobbi
