Yes, that's a good example of the so called moderation that everyone talks about. I have cousins who sip alcohol all evening long but never appear to be drunk. A popular ex-president was a good example of someone practicing moderation as he popped an occasional jelly-bean during the day and had a few drinks in the evening. It's always considered moderate to the person who's addicted. Another (former) president was fond of consuming fast food and, although it seemed moderate, it led to him having a heart bypass operation.
