I bought enough to get me drunk but not enough to last so I wouldn't have time to sober up before morning. When I drank it was to get good'n drunk. What does moderation mean to people who use it as a way to keep drinking?
Holy crap after all this time! That dang AV has been hatching a plan! Busted!

I asked the question of what moderation looks like yet my tagline is: complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation. I reset that tagline probably a year ago and it is a St. Thomas of Aquinas quote I ran across that sounded mildly interesting.

I was warning myself.

Edit: It was Saint Augustine who said it. I'm a lot more familiar with sinners than saints.
