You'll never be able to avoid alcohol so don't even try. It's everywhere and always will be. So that is not the problem. I'm an alcoholic and the problem is primarily centered in my thinking, I think I can handle it now. I think 'well, its just one; one won't hurt.' One drink is to many and a thousand drinks aren't enough. After that first drink my body begins to crave more and more so that I can't stop even if I want to.
Close Call this is the answer to your problem. 'If you don't drink, you won't get drunk.' Here's another, 'It's the first drink that gets you drunk.' So don't take the first one and you'll never get drunk again.
Do you want to control your drinking or stop drinking? It has to be one or the other, not both.
