Augh Madisgram, your list made me smile. I tried most of them.

But probably my most stupid attempts at "limiting" my drinking where when I'd started to try to stop drinking and would get some sober time and then relapse. I never thought I could have just one. I knew that was out of the picture, so I'd try to limit the binge. I'd go out and buy 2 1 litre bottles of whiskey and a bottle of wine, and plan on drinking 24/7 for "just" 3 days, interspurrsed of course by passing out. However sometime on the third day I'd come to, and realize I was out of booze, and that I needed more, so I'd throw on some old sweat, and drive drunk, I'm embarrassed to say, to McDonalds, to get some food as I hadn't eaten in three days, then onto the liquor store for more booze, so I could continue drinking. I wouldn't stop until around day 6 or 7 when I was physically too sick to continue anymore. I truly hope those days are behind me.
