I'm not sure whether I do or not. I'm quite happy to go for a couple of weeks or longer without booze*, but when I start drinking, I often don't stop until it becomes physically difficult to drink more. Thankfully, the same doesn't apply to smokes - I don't smoke often, and when I do, one is sufficient. * - and I've even been known to turn booze down. -- David Cantrell | Benevolent Dictator | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david Longum iter est per praecepta, breve et efficax per exempla. -- Seneca Philosophus, Epistulae
