how much is too much

I have been thinking about this question for a while and always refer it to wine, how much is too much.
I have been aware that my daily drinking of wine is a focus of my evening and it has had me very concerned. It wasnt the drinking so much but indeed the "when did it start being every night?" question was in my head.
Friends around me reassured me with "oh one is Ok" but digging deeper they were kind of like me - saying they were having one but often many nights they maybe had 2 or even 3, with the result of 3 glasses of wine leaving them moody, agressive and pretty much hung over the next day - i have these issues if i have 3 glasses of wine.
Since I couldn't remember when I started my "daily" drinking, I have decided to stop and so far 6 days and still counting I have not had a drop - not even sniffed at the open wine bottle that is in the fridge - i am pretty proud of myself and I have been in different situations, a group night out, alone at home and a night in with Simon so I have been tested and no-one has asked me to do this, I want to!
I feel calmer and more fun, I definately have more energy and am sleeping better, today I was going to have a glass of wine as a reward for "being good" then i realised how silly that actually sounded - why reward myself for something I didnt actually need.
So proudly I have cut back and dont really miss it and ..........well..... it will do no harm!
