[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify, those with the "2 drink rule":  How long do you assume it takes to consume those drinks?  B/c it matters whether those 2 drinks are consumed in a half hour, one hour,  2 hours or 3 hours. As well as the size and content of the drink.  Plus whether you have eaten all day or are just snacking while you drink or are consuming it with a full meal over the course of a meal.

2 of those 'standard' giant vodka martinis at mortons is very different than  2  12 oz cans of light beer.[/quote]

PP here. DH only drinks beer, he is a bigger guy and food is more important to him than booze.  I don't think he has missed lunch a day in his life, and never misses an opportunity for bar food.  I don't worry about him drinking liquor, or not eating enough.

For me, you are right, I have to be more cautious because I can go all day without eating much, so even one glass of wine can make me feel buzzed.  In those cases, I try to use my best judgement and switch to seltzer.  If I have made the decision to go to a work event and drive home, I normally abstain completely or stick with one.  It is usually pre-planned that I'm going to hang out a while, and drink a bit more.

PP again.  the last sentence of "pre-planning hanging out/drinking more means" that I've planned ahead with DH that I'll likely be cabbing home.  [/quote]
