Is it possible to social drink again eventually?!?

If you are an alcoholic, no.

It seems like it's the fantasy of every alcoholic to be able to drink socially one day.

I was sober for 5.5 years and then I thought I could have a beer or two with my nice steak dinner. In a matter of day's I was right back to my previous levels of consumption. However, it was much worse. My ability to recover the next morning wasn't the same and I would feel just awful. However, having a beer or two with my Egg McMuffin seemed to help. Fortunately, I was able to stop drinking again after some miserable months of on again, off again recovery attempts. Trying the "social drinking" experiment is not worth it.
