I need to accept that my "controlled drinking" inevitably leads here. That's hard because every time is different - I can tell because I looked at the calendar. Seriously, I keep looking at it as more experience and knowledge about where the land mines are so I will avoid them instead of mounting evidence that proves I can't. It's hard.

That's an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing! I think my drinking is controlled because I usually just go once a week and have a few drinks. But I feel absolutely terrible after. Let's see what happens this Friday!
