To me, it tends to be about appropriateness with whatever else I&#8217;m going to eat or drink along with it.  The chances of me having a glass of chardonnay with a steak are pretty low.  Lower, still, would be having a glass of chardonnay with a black fly.  Is that ironic?

I don&#8217;t like getting completely sloshed.  With the frequency with which I drink, there&#8217;ve been a few times where I&#8217;ve cut myself off, but, completely blitzed?  It&#8217;s been a long time.  Maybe Shmoocon 2010, where I spent most of the night on the nice cold bathroom floor in the hotel room?  <\/p>\n<p>Since I went to prison, my consumption has dropped considerably.  I don&#8217;t have my own fridge, or stash, or &#8230;.  Listening to my young coworkers discuss what they&#8217;re drinking also serves as a deterrent.  Bottle service at a casino, and you ordered Vodak?  Really?  (And I&#8217;ll skip the whole rant about vodka being unfinished gin.)<\/p>\n<p>Nothing&#8217;s in my glass right now.  There is Coca-cola in the can next to me.  I think if i was drinking before 8:00 Eastern, someone might say I have a problem.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon\/evening, I&#8217;ve been kind of craving a Manhattan, after hearing the pols talk about Kentucky Bourbon.
