Could have been a little shorter, but an interesting read still.
Though I have the same problem that it's very hard for me to stop at the first beer, I've never had a drinking problem. However I've noticed I've been drinking much less during this year. Hangovers suck badly and alcohol is pretty expensive where I live, and being drunk pretty much kills all my productivity.
Hangovers, the expense, and productivity are all worthy reasons to ease up. I just can't handle it at all, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. I haven't had anything to drink in 2 months or so, and I intend to keep it up.
