It's not stupid at all, it's called addiction. And it's very hard to understand, some might say impossible to understand. That's why most of us need to rely on some outside help or a structured plan to learn to not listen to that inner "devil" or "alcoholic voice" or whatever you might like to call it. And rather than trying to tell yourself that you can't limit your intake, it's a lot simpler/more effective to tell yourself that you simply don't drink at all.
