Actually you can read the AA Big Book on line, here is the link:
http://www.recovery.org/aa/bigbook/ww/index.html
And as shutterbug suggested, post and read on the 'Alcoholism' and the 'AA' forums, that will help you a lot.
As teach said alcohol and pysch drugs DO NOT MIX.
Hope this helps a bit.
Love and hugs,
