From a recovery standpoint from alcoholism, I've found it's critically important to not have reservations concerning the truth of what I am. The 12 Steps can be a great way to live, but no need to waste time if you don't have a problem. Here's a great way to find out that is more reliable than a one time experiment.

Try some controlled drinking. Try it more than once. Taking some liberty with that idea, this plan has given others a pretty clear picture.

Take two drinks per day, no more, no less, every day, for a month. That will give you a good indication of whether or not you can control your drinking.

If you can do that, it doesn't eliminate the possibility of being a 'potetntial' alkie, but it will give you a good idea of where you are at today (or in a month). Let us know how it goes.
