    At one point I felt really p***ed that everyone else could drink and I couldn't. I was SO jealous!!! But then I thought about it. They would share the bottle of wine and that would be that. They may even put part of it back in the fridge. MY version would be....drink half of bottle before we start dinner, start worring that its nearly all gone, send OH up shop and be completely blotto by 4pm! So THATS why I can't drink, why MY drinking is different to other peoples. Any common sense I have disappears out of the window after that 1st glass.

    Excellent post Miss P, that's my version too, hate those barstewards that can drink normally :mad:

    the thought of drinking still returns after years of not picking up. And why we can never be complacent.

    GC, isn't it all a bit tiring though, always being complacent? Though I suppose the battle of drinking everyday and hiding it is just as tiring *shrugs*
