Why the glass actually works
The reach for the glass at 7pm was rational, not weak. By evening your body is running low on GABA, your nervous system's own calm brake, the same braking system prescription calm-aids are built around. Wine reaches that GABA-A receptor fast, which is why the first sips feel like the day finally lets go. So if you have felt wired like you drank coffee all day when you didn't, or a steady tension that won't lift until the second glass, that is not a discipline problem.
It is a nervous system asking for a calm signal it ran out of. The relief is real. The delivery is the problem.
