Summary

Moderating alcohol is likely your ultimate goal if you’re worried about how much you're drinking on a regular basis.  You probably don’t want to stop drinking completely, but rather you want to cut back, drink less, drink less often or (what I hear most) you want to “drink like a normal person”.  And yet most people who love to drink find it incredibly hard to moderate how much alcohol we consume.  Often we’re able to take a week off, a month off, a few months or not drink at all while pregnant or breastfeeding, but somehow, regardless of how many rules we make, we’ll eventually find ourselves back to consuming more alcohol than we meant to or want to. The truth is that moderation is an elusive goal that is incredibly hard to achieve for people who have struggled with drinking too much or too often. And it’s because alcohol is an addictive drug. By taking the drug (alcohol) the substance creates the need for another dose (and you drink again).  So let’s talk about moderation and why it’s hard to moderate your alcohol consumption.
