A good friend with a whole lot of sobriety often shares "If you get hit by a train, it's not the caboose that's gonna kill you."
From personal experience, I could black out after six or sixteen or not black out at all. That's the nature of the beast... we have no control after we take the first drink. I didn't get into serious trouble every time I drank, but without exception every time I got into serious trouble I had been drinking.
