I love a good buzz. After nearly a 1/2 century of messing with intoxicants, I have a good handle on booze. I like to party, I only over serve myself with minders present or at home. And then only under specific time constraints.I don't have the time to be be drinking to the level of which I like to drink. So I don't much anymore. OP, if you are maintenance dosing just to function, then you have a problem.
