Learn from my mistake

[timberland]

I like beer. Grew up with it (WI boy) and never had a problem with over-indulgence. However, my loving wife of 25 yrs was never a big drinker, an occasional glass of wine or a hard cider. So, a few years ago I got kinda full, enough for her to notice the glassy eyes and brewery breath.
"How many did ya have" she asked. "oh, a couple, maybe three" I replied, trying to avoid the third degree about my behavior.

SO....now when we go out and she sees me grab my second or third, she has got to tell me to tap the brakes, I've reached my limit. It's like having a governor on my beer throttle.

Be honest with your spouse and yourself!

By the way, if you ever meet my wife, brown hair, blue eyes, 5'6"ish....I have a severe allergy to Jack Daniels. But that's for another day.

Your misstake was getting married?

 

[isu22andy]

You drunk again ?

 

[Glendon Mullins]

so it only takes you 3 beers to get drunk and glassy eyed?

 

[ODB]

Good, keep it up.

I traded booze for coffee a while ago. Don’t miss it a drop...

dear diary. where is the delete button mods?

 

[260madman]

I am from WI and you screwed up royally. The answer is always 2. First one and last one. Ones in the middle don’t count.

They were 64oz Oktoberfest Mugs.

 

[Azone]

Wow......that was a clickbait title.

 

[WJS23]

Yep.... I didn’t see that coming

 

[5MilesBack]

So, what I take from the story is "Learn from my mistake.....don't drink".

 

[Scoot]

I think 5mile got it. But... the take home could also be... don't start rambling threads that lack a coherent message!

In all seriousness, good for the OP. A man has to know his limits.

 

[PantaRhei]

The message? Tell the truth so the governor is set higher.

 

[speters]

I believe the message is to say a higher number like 11. This way when she is trying to prevent you from getting drunk again she steps in at 11.

Party at your house

Don't worry man, she tells me the same thing.....
