'Sufficiently holing up my AV" after having one glass of wine is what I think that I would find most problematic. I haven't tested this scenario so it's only a theory but here is how I think it would go for me:

After the one and only one glass of wine: "Wow; that went well. Good, over and done but no more".

A few nights or a week later, while out to dinner with friends: "Well; that one glass of wine the other night didn't lead to any problems. I think I'll have a glass of wine with everyone else".

A few days later: "Well, Leigh, those glasses of wine weren't a problem; I'll bet I could have two glasses of wine - no sweat".

Eventually, I would have myself convinced that three glasses of wine was a splendid idea and so I'd slide down that dark path and into that abyss from which I struggled so hard to climb out.

Keep a good eye on your AV, GC; if he's anything like mine, he's a sneaky little *%*@.
