[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 329917, member: 1963"] Yeah. Both of my "little binges" occurred during/after a full meal. I didn't feel like I really got tipsy, but the alcohol sure made me feel lousy mood-wise. I didn't have any desire to drink more or drink again the night immediately after. It took the second time for me to draw the connection and realize that the alcohol had that effect on me. I've never been able to do the four glasses of wine for the blessings at the Passover meal, I'd have been worshipping at the altar of the porcelain goddess for sure, sipping is actually OK. I grew up drinking small amts of wine at holidays and the like and never thought twice about it. I guess I'll just join the younger set with the Kosher grape juice LoL...and stay the heck away from the margaritas, both they and Kosher wine are just lethal. Margaritas contain nearly two shots of alcohol and some Kosher wines are 15% alcohol. That means that a standard glass of wine is like drinking two cans of beer. Sigh...I do like single malt Scotch whiskey, too, but that's not only expensive but gives me horrible headaches...I guess my brain/body have overrulled my genes. I'm just glad that I realized where things were going right after husband died and was able to catch it in time. THAT was definitely self-medicating and what I needed was proper medications and therapy [/QUOTE]
