I'm afraid JB that what you see as control in a two beer limit is nothing more than AH choosing to fly right based on a vacation that he really wants to go on.
If this is how you "control" then you better start thinking of the next adventure and get it booked afterward before the gates of hell open and someone decides to make up the months of abiding by a two drink limit. Well actually - I'm pretty sure that will happen on the cruise anyway.
I hope you realize soon you have zero control in all of this.
