This is so very true.
Chilledice - I think that the reason you see such passion in the responses to your post is because so very many of us have desperately tried to moderate and have overwhelmingly failed - drastically, abysmally, and totally.
No one wants to see you go down that road or give anything other than the impression that attempts at moderation are, for an alcoholic, futile.
