I does throw out wine, but then I go back to store and buys more wine to 'make up for' wine I throw out. So not only is I clogging landfill with thousand of wine opener, I clogging sewers with thousand gallon of wine!
I not drink with public anymore. Never. Too many people knows me. And everybody know I alcoholic. Plus also I not enjoy bar/club anymore. I prefers to write and watch TV and savor good wine with foods, make 'The Event' last all day and into night. Can still be quite pleasant to me, until second it over, then long sobering up transition is feel like my body is putrid rotting corpse and my mind struggle to keep from losing it. Then next day I just puke sick debilitated severely depress wreck. Not go outside. Try no to talk to anyone. Just hold out until can go to sleep again. Put that day in trash, cuz is waste, I throw it away. Next day I sooooo glad I not has to feel such horror anymore...then...next day....all is forgiven...let's go pick up couple bottles of Zin!
I sad you headed out to bar, FT. But I glad you can be honest to us.
