Hi Mr. X--welcome to SR. I agree with the other posters that answering your question is something only you can do. For me, I am like Ken. Every once in a while I would be able to drink just a few drinks and stop, but whenever I did, I would be almost insane with really wanting more. Most often I would need 2 or 3 bong hits so I could just pass out and forget about it. Then I would wake up in the morning congratulating myself for exhibiting such control. What a joke!! Then the next time I would reward myself by not monitoring my drinking at all--often consuming as many as 24 beers in a 24 hour period, although they were "girly light beer's." The fact that you have come here tells me you are concerned about how much you drink. What if you couldn't drink at all for a period of time? What do you think would happen? Just some food for thought--you don't actually have to answer me.
Glad you are here--keep posting.
