Get me alone on a Saturday with nothing happening and I'll have three beers. Then six. Nine. Perhaps I'll start on the rum. One bottle. Black out. Sunday - top of the list on waking up is to buy more rum. A couple bottles then nothing matters for the next few days or weeks.

So while technically i could have one or two then stop, It's just safer not to start in the first place.

-- edit - this sounds like I can control my drinking. I can't. Right situation to begun drinking and after that it doesn't matter what situation. Missing work - last year I missed my own birthday. All the family were there but me. I don't really know why.
