That is not self control, that is someone that does not have a problem with alcohol. They do not have to think twice about when to stop. They just do.
I have never been a social drinker. I drank in social situations (Bars,Taverns) but I never dank like them. It is not a matter of just stopping. I have no off switch. One drink and the craving for more begins and gets worse.
It is the first drink that gets me drunk, every time. My limit is none, nadda, zero, zilch, nope, can't do it!
