My mom had issues with drinking so I constantly monitor myself. That said – I like a cocktail or glass and wine here and there.
Because of my issues with my mom, we set household policies: We don’t drink every night – every other is ok. 2 glasses of wine or 1 martini is ok, more than that is not.
Exceptions can be made for special occasions – but that’s our normal policy.
This works for us. May seem kind of arbitrary… but it relieves my anxiety that I’ll end up drinking too much, yet still allows me to have a glass or two of wine a few days a week.
