Cognac will be my downfall

Cognac will be my downfall.

Or men who give me cognac will be my downfall.

Men who refill my glass, unasked, after I've already had a few ounces of cognac, following a couple of beers with friends and a light dinner, will be my downfall.

In conclusion, men bearing cognac will be my downfall.

I always thought that "downfall" implied some sort of resistance or unwillingness on the part of the falling individual. Your usage seems to make it synonymous with "water slide."

Isn't it the same as "unmaking" here? "Cognac will be my unmaking."
