I like to drink and have been doing it pretty regularly over the last 30 years. I enjoy the taste and I like the one drink relaxed feeling.
My goal is moderation, and lately, that is still pretty tough. If I drink too much my blood pressure goes up and I wake up at 2am with my heart beating pretty hard.
My moderation trick with wine is to use my wife's weight watcher glass. That thing is tiny (probably 2-4 oz) and it keeps me on track. My nemesis is my Riedel Vinum XL glasses. I bring those out at the holidays when the relatives visit.
Lately I have switched to beer as I wake up the next day feeling much better. I have one 4-5% 12 ounce lager and then start another (but rarely finish it).... It is stupid to waste beer I know, but I am getting through the best I can! I have found my riding the next morning after beer is much better than wine.
