How so?
Some people are unable to drink a few beers without drinking a case.
Others are unable to drink Friday night at a social gathering and not start drinking Saturday morning when they wake up (and Sunday, Monday,...)
I don't know how or why it is so, but people are different and some very disciplined people are unable to handle alcohol for whatever reason.
For me, I know that I cannot regulate alcohol usage but I can choose not to take the first drink. So that's what I have done. And I will be two years sober on October 8.

Hello Rob. Glad to hear all is well for you. Not sure if you remember me. Remember the thread, "Judge says alcoholism no disease"? We spoke a bit about the subject.
I'm the guy who probably caused you to pull your hair out. Needless to say, I still believe now the way I did then.
Again, I'm happy you are still well -
