I had a relative who was a great person but liked drinking at 5pm when he'd become really irritated and disagreeable, complaining about the world while watching the news etc. I'm the same when I drink, I'm conscious I can become that person, so I still have drinks but I just watch my mental state, almost (mindfully) ha.
