Agreed ClearMind, I tried the moderation thing pretty much all of 2013... not much success, so I've abandoned that approach. For me it was a crap shoot... some days I could easily have one drink with the guys, then other days I'd go for one and then something would take over, my entire goal suddenly would be to get home so I could get completely wasted (home because then I wouldn't have to drive). Literally my only focus would be on getting drunk.... have no idea why sometimes I'd be just fine and others I would 'lose it'.... but I did learn I couldn't control when or why that would happen so only option has been to give up trying moderation!
