For a long time I had a system, I call it the 3-1-3 system. Three days of work. On the afternoon of the third day���drinking. Then you can get as drunk as you want. On the fourth day, you rest. Then you���re ready for three new days of work. I drink less now���age takes its toll. But when I was physically in better shape, I did that all the time. And it worked very well. It gives you a lot of work days, only one day off a week.
