I found that in my drinking days it very much depended on my mood at the time. When I was feeling very good and confident I could drink a lot and "hold my liquor". Or I could stop after only a few.
When I was feeling insecure or stressed as you say is when it was most likely to get out of hand. Once I started I couldn't stop. I would get stupid drunk. black out ect...
It very much depended on my mood. I have talked a lot to my 21 year old daughter about her drinking and she tells me the exact same thing is true for her. She is very honest with me but I worry very much about her becoming an alcoholic like me. I pray that her awareness will prevent this from happening.
