Do you believe that at some point in time you will be able to have a couple beers with the guys and not be subject to the phenomenon of craving?
Do you beleive that at some point that all by yourself you will have complete defense against taking the first drink?
If so, I'd advise you not to try it. If not, that sort of implies you're still powerless over alcohol.
