Yes, really. I'm not a big drinker, so when I do consume more alcohol than I normally would, I tend to not want to drink much the next day. Others may feel differently (a little hair of the dog perhaps). But my pattern is to splurge one night and take it easy the next. Not saying everyone does this, but that's my pattern. Again, I said I'm probably in the 1% minority, but just wanted to share my experience. Happy cruising!
