Moss reminds me of something I've seen with guys who can drink allot of beer. They go for years drinking a 12 pack without any noticeable sign. To get drunk, they drink a case of beer or more. I've done it myself and was one of those guys who would brag about how many beers I could drink. One time I was drunk for 27 hours straight!!!
Anyway, those guys that I knew, and later on when I was a Union Steward, I had to deal with the same thing. These guys would get to a point of drinking that their livers were shot. One beer and they were drunk. They refused to acknowledge it because it was a source of pride for them on how many they could "handle" and still be fine.
There were several that were pulled over for drunk driving after just a few beers. How many depends on how much you trust them and their version of the story. Of course, it was never their fault that they got pulled over, but instead, it was the cops fault. Go figure that one out. LOL
My wife's ex is that way now. He's still drinking, has had some problem with the law lately because of it, but refuses to acknowledge that it's the beer and that he can no longer drink as much as he used to. It's very sad to see happen, especially now that it's so bad that his parents, who defended him no matter what, but are now unable to ignore having to bail him out of jail twice in the last two months.
He can't handle a single beer anymore, but he doesn't realize this, or admit it to himself.
