Exactly Koala! When I used to go 3 days (trying to 'cut down') I really felt like I did something and should be praised by my wife! Then I would usually drink a few 'extra' to make up for what I missed out on! I also tried weekends only but I work four 10's with a 3 day weekend every weekend and always counted Sunday night too so I still drank 4 nights a week but damn sure got plenty in me while the getting was good every 'weekend'!!!!!
Life is a HELL OF A LOT SIMPLER now.
