I am of the belief that I am NOT powerless over alcohol - I believe that I DO possess the power to choose whether or not to drink. I just chose incorrectly for a long time, and once I made that choice what happened NEXT was kind of out of my hands. My mistake was ever taking that first drink.
Which leads me to say NO, I ABSOLUTELY do not think I could ever drink in moderation ever again.
This topic comes up quite frequently, actually.
Until recently, I was trying very hard to cling to the idea that maybe, just maybe, one day some time in the future I could drink "normally" again. A glass of wine with dinner, a champagne toast on New Year's or at a wedding, a beer with my hot wings during the big game. But I'm only fooling myself because I know deep down that that one would never be enough. Once I started I wouldn't be able to stop, and I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THAT PLACE.
So, for me, moderation is out. If you have success with it at some point, then good for you.
You can have my wine! LOL
