Can you please elaborate what you mean by your post? Are you saying that you do not have an alcohol problem? If so then what led you to a sober recovery site? I am not sure I understand what you are meaning by your post.

WHISKEY PEG

To keep late Anglo-Saxon citizenry on the straight and narrow, King Edgar ordered that pegs be fastened in drinking vessels at given intervals; anyone who drank beyond these marks at one draught was liable to punishment. Meant as a deterrent, they became a provocation. Peg-tankards contained two quarts, and were divided into eight draughts. They inspired such expressions as "to take him down a peg" and "to put a peg (nail) in one's coffin". In popular parlance any drink of spirits became known as a peg.

Anglo-Indian in origin, a chota peg is a slang term for a drink of a spirits (usually brandy or whisky) and soda water, which one drinks in the early evening on the veranda while wearing one's solar topi (pith helmet). A 2-quart peg tankard was divided by pegs into eight draughts. So, it would be 8 oz.

now you know
