The thing is, as the amnesia sets in, you might forget that it's your 3rd shot and take that first shot, you dig?
and on and on and on
until either an unforgettable time, my apologies, a forgettable time, or some other dire consequences. Imagine getting laid and not remembering it!!
Personally, I take really low doses of benzos (prescribed), and when I used to go out and party and club, etc, I could not go without .5-1 mg. of xanax, or something of the sort 1 or more hours before going out of course, and keep my drinking at bay.
I am Russian, but I got all the heavy drinking out of my system first or second college year. well, when I turned 21, couldn't help it, just drank cognacs all the time. Straight. But nowadays, you ask me when my last beer was, and I'll tell you last week - one beer. But I had my birthday about two weeks ago, and not so much as a drop of nonalcoholic (or otherwise alcoholic) beer got drunk by yours truly.
Back to topic - low quantities benzos, and 2-3 beers is okay, in my opinion, but some folks just can't stick to low quantities, of benzos and the white man's poison alike.
Be safe
