I don't mind saying: I am 41. I have been binging since high school, and really badly in college. After college I began drinking after work etc. Sometime about 11 years ago, I started drinking daily. And it's been downhill after that point. The numbers kept going up. And up.

Thanks, EL and Chrissie!

EL, you have helped me more with moderation techniques I am finally in a position to use. It took a while before I could do them without great effort, but they work very well! I appreciate your posts!

Update for the week, 3 AF days. 19 Units. Still not at ULMD, as I drank over 5 on Saturday and Sunday. The drinking sessions with acquaintances ran about six hours each. I drank about a beer an hour, which isn't bad, but is still technically over ULMD. Looking back at my consumption, it's those two days that have driven 1/3 to 1/2 of my drinking for the past two months.

I am pulling AF days without any effort. I sleep well. I think I am losing weight and I am not as grumpy. So, it's a good week!

Hi HF - you are absolutely killing it lately. 19 and 3 AF is just awesome.

I wouldn't get too wrapped up in the hard technicalities of the ULMD. I know dipping under that limit is a goal for you, but drinking 5+ over 5+ hours is pretty much keeping your BAC below the legal limit.

It's great to see the changes you've made start to impact other areas of your life. Excellent work.

I make one mean batch of sweet tea!!! I had forgotten that. Until very recently, I only drank several things: coffee, beer, wine, and liquor. I agreed with WC Fields, "I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it." Well, at least that's the cleaned up version of what he said....
