ummm, you typed above
However, after spending a night counting my drinks and now having another one the day after - I could quite happily stop
and that is what i will do.
are you stopping all together or doing a controlled drinking experiment?
which you dont have to do an experiment that has already been done millions of times.
this is from a book published in 1939:
By every form of self-deception and experimentation, they will try to prove themselves exceptions to the rule, therefore nonalcoholic.
