Is it time yet?

My AH kept looking at his watch last night...8.15pm...9pm...9.15pm...
I asked why he kept doing this when all we were doing was watching tv, we had nothing planned or not expecting visitors etc. His answer was "Just checking if its time for a Jacky D yet". Turns out in his head he has to wait for the clock to hit 9.30pm before he can have a drink.
I asked why this was...if he felt like drinking at 8.15pm why didn't he just do it then? He said that's just how it is...
Has anyone else know an alcoholic to self impose such 'rules'?
The obvious clock watching confirms he was craving a drink...but why the partial self control? Has anyone else heard of or experienced this?
