Well, instead of staying wholly on the wagon, I have kept my resolution on weekdays and bowed to social pressure on the weekend. I drew a parentheses around the first Saturday of the new regime in order to enjoy an evening of beer and music-making. Having established that precedent, I have allowed myself a glass or two on subsequent Saturdays and Sundays.
The difference is that I don't have a committed partner in the experiment this time. Another difference is that I'm doing it for health reasons. From this point of view, partial abstinence is still an improvement and worth something. From a strictly moral point of view, one slip contaminates the purity of the whole enterprise.
