I stopped drinking like 10 years ago and i find it fascinating how hard it is to just stop drinking. I never really liked the taste of alcohol, so i had kind of a hard time to get tipsy, but then it snowballed. I talked about this with my frinds who were bigger drinkes than me often. The conversation was always like:" you know how you get drunk, having a grand old time, and instead of stopping, you just keep going, and it's never getting better, just worse?" And we often tried to stay in the sweet spot, but everything ALWAYS went out of control, well knowing that it's gonna end up bad.

Oof, that's rough. Congratulations on staying off the drink for 10 years though. That's really solid work. Very impressive.

I personally can keep myself in the sweet spot all night and well into the next morning and almost never get messy and truly believe it's down to that "Ease down, son. You've a stomach full of booze to come" that pops into my head.
