Why your 7pm instinct is right
Your 7pm instinct was never weakness. By evening your body is running low on GABA, your nervous system's own calm brake, so when the day floods you with stress hormone there is little of your own calm left to flip. Wine reaches that GABA-A receptor fast, which is exactly why the first sips feel like the day finally exhales. The reach for the glass was rational, not a discipline problem.
If you have felt wired like you drank coffee all day when you didn't, or a tension that won't lift until the second glass, that is a nervous system asking for a signal it ran out of. The instinct was right. The vehicle is the problem.
