I have known some problem drinkers who, when circumstances demanded it, were able to go back to occasional drinking.
I've known more who could not....
I am one who cannot drink normally. I have the reaction to alchohol where once I have a few, I crave the next one...and I have a mind that cannot remember the truth that drinking doesn't work for me....
You're sorta on your own to find out what type of drinker you are....This site will be here for you if you find you cannot sucessfully drink.
Thanks for posting your honest question.
