Big Al... I count myself fortunate that I do NOT 'need' a 2nd, 3rd and 4th...etc... drams. It is not an accomplishment, just luck of the draw. My brother got the other end of the straw, and 24 years ago, after serious problems, had to give up ALL alcohol.

2-3 beers or 1-2 shots, sipped slowly, is my limit.... fortunately, as my tastes run to the GOOD stuff.
