Controlled Drinking and How do Do It.
Controlled Drinking Is
Controlled drinking is as the name implies, drinking using conscious control. In simpler terms it means drinking in a way that you wont regret it the next day. This usually means drinking fairly slowly. The real trick is to get the motivation to drink in a controlled manner. If you are fully enjoying your drinking or if you enjoy getting drunk and don't have any regrets about it you probably wont be able to learn to control your alcohol consumption. On the other hand if you are starting to worry and regret how much you drink then a controlled drinking program will teach you how.
How do You Get the Control You Need to Master Controlled Drinking
Really it all comes down to education, motivation and practice. Just about anyone can learn to control their alcohol consumption if they really want to. The real trick is to have the motivation to control and the perseverance to keep going until you control your drinking without really having to think about it. I must say however some people are unable to learn how to control their drinking and may have to adopt a non-drinking policy.
Should I learn to Control Or Simply Abstain?
If your alcohol consumption is causing you worries, regrets, actual physical harm, relationship damage, or is making you do other things like gamble and take drugs then you need to learn to control or abstain. In other words if your drinking is causing you some kind of harm, putting you at risk of harm or generally causing you to be discontent then you need to learn to control your alcohol consumption.
