I do go a bit light on the first of the two glasses so that the second one can be a bit bigger. I am well aware that it's illogical, but I still do it.
The flip side of this is that my job requires that if I get drug and alcohol tested, the alcohol limit is less than a ⅓ of the drink driving limit. This is a big motivator to not drink before and during a shift.
In other news, I once had to stay somewhere with people who were being treated for alcoholism. A common feature was that wine seamed to be the tipping point. For it would always be about the wine they drank, not the beer or whisky etc. One person described it as being more romantic to be sat at a table at Marylebone station drinking a bottle of wine just watching people walk by. Now he's not allowed to drink. I never see or hear from him anymore

Have been through periods of drinking a fair bit but for a long time now I've been very uninterested in alcohol. We'll occasionally have a bottle of wine and I'll be sipping a single glass all night.
Might have a pint at a gig between sets and be having to keep moving the remaining half pint when we're packing up so I don't knock it over.
Food is my downfall, not booze or drugs.
I regularly drank a bottle of wine every evening for years. It's the heavy reds I felt the next day. Finally quit when I was up to a bottle of vodka daily. Had to go into rehab to get clean, second time worked and I haven't had a drink for about 6 years, don't miss it either.
@Emp_Fab I'm not suggesting you *are* an alcoholic but now might be a good time to have a look at your drinking habits and see if there's a pattern, other than a loss of control. Stress and other lifestyle factors may be contributing to necking a bottle of wine. Not judging you though, just well intentioned advice

I guess most of you know I quit drinking a few years ago.
In the last 6 months I've had a few drinks- mostly the odd glass of single malt whisky and I got smashed the day the dog died.
It can be quite insidious- I don't consider myself dependent or an alcoholic- even before I quit I drank less than most of my mates, although that is a bit like being the most chaste prostitute.
Here is what I've worked out for myself, nothing to do with anyone else- this only applies to me.
Alcohol was a bit of a monkey on my back.
It wasn't ruining my life, nor was it making me especially unhappy but I just didn't like the idea that drinking 3-4 days a week became the norm and I could see that it would probably end up being a nightly thing.
Mrs Oct and I would finish a bottle if we opened it.
I reckon I can have the odd glass of whisky- I am talking about once or twice a month.
If it gets beyond that then I'd knock it on the head again completely- I just don't want it to be the 'default' place I go to in the evenings, or on the weekends.

+1, just find half bottles and buy one of those. They're cheaper (IF you're the type who's going to finish the bottle.)
I always have a glass of wine in the evening, but only the one, unless I'm eating out with friends/family.
If I drank a whole bottle myself I'd be totally rat-arsed.
