Welcome back to SR...
Well done on your new sobriety.
Well....according to the Center for Disease Control
alcohol is a toxic liquid and damages those who drink it.
It harms all parts of your body....and not just for alcoholics.
I suggest you Google for their website for information.

Sooo do I think drinking is bad for anyone?
I certainly do.
I did tell all my drinking friends I had started AA ...
that my apartment was now a non drinking zone
and that I was finding a new better lifestyle.
Most drifted away...
thus leaveing room for new sober friends.
When I told my non drinking parents I had quit....
they had no great reaction. They had no first
row seat to my life....we lived 900 miles apart.
I did not find it necessary to get into the gory
details of why I came to such a decision...
Heck, they never saw me have a drink of alcohol anyway.
As for you being an alcoholic....only you can determine that.
Another way to look at it is....Why is drinking important to you?
Good to see you again
