My line has ever been that a drink should not prevent me from getting to work. When I find myself dragging in the morning I count my evening drinks & watch my bedtime more closely for a couple days. So long as I get back to not hating getting out of bed & doing what needs done I don't beat myself up over it.
I get that, its that fuckin 'just one more' that kills it. But thats why we are functioning. I love when I can actually go to bed on the weekend early.
I try to keep as regular a schedule as my commitments allow. Bed by 10 or 10:30, up & moving no later than 7:30 regardless of the day. Tonight I was out with family on a last minute invitation to a show. I'll justify pushing sleep of until the edge of what I permit by saying that I'm unwinding & letting the memory of a truly professional performance set in my mind. The fact that I'll have 2 or 3 drinks is just a happy side effect.
guess it depends on what you do or what you have to. 3 drinks is my normal but Im on 4 now. course that dont mean shit as to how strong they are. But its sposed to rain tomorrow so wtf.
