I've had discussions with non-alcoholics about it and I just end up saying "If you don't have it I can't explain it to you. I know it doesn't make sense but that's what happens".

I can moderate and have on or two with other things like pizza, cookies, ice cream ect. but just can't with booze. It's frustrating.

Edit: Also, if anyone has some tips to get me to wrap my head around it actually being rational I'm all ears. I think that would help me in the long run.
