Not if you're an alcoholic like described in the Big Book of AA. If you've crossed that line described in there (can not quit entirely, or have little control over amount), the only hope of successful management is complete abstinence. Being able to drink normally (socially) is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. There are many other descriptions of alcoholism that have also determined that for certain people (alcoholics), there is usually no way of successfully moderating their drinking.

So, maybe it's worth while to find out if you are alcoholic or not.
