Hi Brettk

Thanks for your honesty and to all the others who have shared their experiences. They have been a little different to mine but I've enjoyed the insight you've given me.

I decided on 3rd Sept to moderate my drinking. I've gone from drinking a bottle or so, 3-4 nights a week to drinking one glass per night, 3-4 times a week (plus a few night out where I've drank 2-4 drinks).

The biggest benefit so far has been Time. I wake up fresh and don't have that 'drag' feel in the day now. I'm also more positive about things and seem to be getting things done more quickly.

Alcohol is pretty cheap here in the Netherlands, so I won't say I've saved much money by moderating.
