[quote=walterwhite]Wow. Almost 3 weeks without a drink. Thinking about instituting new rules;
don’t get a drink the minute I get home
wait till dinner
drink wine slowly, not like it’s water
stop after 2 drinks.
Don’t drink every day.
Don’t have more than 3 in a day.
Not sure if these are realistic but, they seem reasonable now.[/quote]
scaredy, when you re-institute your new “wine-imbibement plan,” may I suggest forgoing buying the box? Even though its cheaper, you don’t want five litres just sitting there begging for the button to be pushed whenever you’re home. Get individual 750 ml bottles with corks (even two-buck chuck, lol). Ceremoniously open no more than one bottle per eve (2 1/2 – 3 glasses) in order to pour yourself a drink, so when the bottle’s gone, that’s your allotment for the evening. Thin them down with seltzer water, if you have to, to make more drinks out of it :=]
I haven’t reinstituted my own “wine-imbibement plan yet” (gave it up on New Years). I won’t be able to budget for this until summer but I have been where you are and this is the only way back into a sensible plan, IMHO.
When I was employed full-time in “your world,” my fingers wanted to push the button as soon as I got home in the evenings to an available box just sitting there staring at me … so I can relate to your dilemma :=}
