My drinking is only at night as a nightcap and is only one drink which by no means is enough to get me intoxicated. Everything in moderation as they say.

I would not ever suggest to anyone that they drink and paddle. Paddling while intoxictaed (PWI) is a dangerous hobby. Plus I would hate to carry all the alcohol plus other stuff that would be required to get me intoxicated.

If I am going to be out for a few days-I determine down to the ounce how much I will need to have a night cap on a couple of nights and only bring that much. If I happen to run out early so be it. If I have some left on the last night it all gets used up. Even then usually there is never that much left that last night.
