I disagree, a normal drinker sure, but not a problem drinker.

those for whom drinking is NOT a problem don't go buy a 12 pack just to see what happens. those who are not physically or mentally reliant upon alcohol (for whatever reason) would not think twice about quitting for good if they even sensed there was a problem.
If I were doing this as a test or as part of a controlled drinking experiment - I would think this was solid gold. I did it because I wasn't happy that day and that was that - I didn't give myself a limit to how much or how often I could drink.
