I do fine with abstinence as long as there’s nothing in the house (can’t afford any right now). If I have wine at friend’s house and drove myself there, I have no more than two glasses, with food.
I don’t order wine in restaurants, don’t do “happy hour” anymore and don’t drink any other alcoholic beverage other than wine.
And yes, carli, I have some large wine glasses which I fill with ice cubes, seltzer water and wine, like a “wine cooler.” Without the seltzer water backup, I can get about 2 1/4 to 2 1/3 glasses out of a 750 ml bottle :=].
