Nice to meet you strength,
It takes awhile to realize that we simply do not drink like regular people. We just don't. Regular drinkers begin to feel uncomfortable after two or three drinks. They've had their bit of fun and stop without even thinking about it.
Like you, once I had the green light, I would drink them like the next would be better than the last. The enjoyment kept increasing up to eight, twelve, fourteen drinks. Basically until I passed out and blacked out. It's this weird phenomenon but it just is what it is. Not drinking anymore is such a relief. Glad you are here.
