I like a drink, but I have a built-in sobriety mechanism at various times of my life.
Mostly, I’ve always moderated drinking because I am a big guy and have to hit the stats for an ejection seat, which does not leave me really any room for fat.
Now, in addition to the above, if I have more than 3 drinks (any kind of booze) in a 24 hour period, I feel like complete crap the next day and can’t get anything done.
If I drink more than two days in a row (even one beer each day), I feel like crap and what comes out of my bowels destroys toilets.
I finally settled on drinking two glasses of wine for Shabbos meal and then only when my wife and I go to dinner with some other couple (which is basically never).
Maybe I just got middle aged.
