Dee, yes my husband knows that I'm attempting to be sober. My husband can buy a 6 pack of beers and have it last the whole weekend. He likes to go out and have a few drinks with friends, out on the boat etc. I think in the 10 years we've been together I've probably seen him black out drunk about 3 times. I wish I could say the same about myself. He can get drunk, but has an off switch. I don't. I think he wishes I could buy one bottle of wine a week and stick to that. We enjoy going out to dinner together and having a couple, and I'm usually great at sticking to just that, but about once every 3 months or so, my brain seems to switch, I freak out and get black out, can't stop drunk.
