Normal drinkers don't have to wonder about moderation...they just practice it. So I'd say probably not. Too late to put the cat back in the bag.
You're at day 5 thinking about drinking...what does that tell you about where you are?
Do your 16 weeks, hopefully you will relish sobriety so much you'll continue.
