I've asked because I started wondering about my alcoholism lately. I definitely drank more than I should, it definitely caused all sorts of problems at work, school, in my family, with friends, etc. My drug use is more certain, I was hooked on that. I've had half to a whole beer a couple times and been fine with it. There was none of the stuff that went along with my old drinking patterns. But I don't even want to try it long-term. I'd be right back where I was, because the alcohol seems to be oil on the slippery slope of drug use.
