it was explained to me that neurologically, if you can picture your brain, we have a net like barrier that covers it made up of neural transmitters. when we continue to abuse alcohol that net that helped filter out all of the horrible effects of withdrawal gets thinner and thinner. it gets thinned to the point where she has seen patients who were alcoholics go on weekend benders and come back with full blown DT's after months of continued sobriety.

so in answer to your question, if you're really honest with yourself...you probably will never be able to drink safely again.
