denise_xo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 What is your definition of drinking in "moderation"? To me it's not becoming noticably intoxicated. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would say moderation is 1-2 drinks at a sitting. It's not moderation if you are doing this on a daily basis however. Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 "Everything in Moderation - including Moderation" - ! I don't drink - so for me, 'moderation' means making sure nobody's spiking for fun..... Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 In my neck of the woods, being able to blow legal at a roadside sobriety stop would be indicative to me of 'moderation'. That's .08% BAC here in Cali AFAIK. It's a rare occasion anymore when I have more than two drinks (like two bottles of beer or single mixed drinks) in an hour. At my weight, that's close. Then I stop and switch to water or juice. If I were an alcoholic, zero drinks would be 'moderation'. I'd get 'drunk' on ginger ale. Link to post Share on other sites
make me believe Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I guess nobody else agrees that you can get drunk once in awhile and still be drinking in moderation, but I think you can. I know it's not "moderate" at that particular instance, but if someone drinks to the point of intoxication on a Saturday night but doesn't drink at all during the week, I'd still consider that moderate overall. I would consider 1 drink a day moderation, even though you're doing it daily. 3 drinks a couple times a week would also be ok. I dunno. When I think of "moderation" I basically think "don't get hammered too often!" Link to post Share on other sites
Feelin Frisky Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Moderation implies setting a limit and spreading that limit thoughout the evening. Presumably the limit is under intoxication. I think I've done that once or twice at some time in my life. *hiccups* Link to post Share on other sites
magda Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It means being able to drink and then stopping, with out getting drunk. Link to post Share on other sites
