-Putting my nightly empties into a shopping bag (so no one could count them) then making sure this bag was under other things in the recycle bin.
-stopping at the store EVERY night to buy beer.(did the 30 pack thing but that made me "look" like a drunk - so I stopped(?)
-planning my evenings around drinking, when any "surprise" pissed me off as it cut into my time with the beer.
