Same. I wish I could be the kind of person who enjoys a couple of drinks at a bar and then heads home. Or can pour myself a couple of drinks from the liquor cabinet at home and then leaves it at that. But the reality is I'm the person who stays at the bar until it is closed and then carries on elsewhere. I'm the person who never has a stocked liquor cabinet because it always gets drunk too quickly to remain stockpiled. I will never be that person who can enjoy alcohol moderately despite wanting to be able to with every fiber in my body. It simply will never happen.
