I'd emplore you to quit drinking now if you think you have a problem. Like you i'm a pretty intelligent person - when it comes to drugs/ booze though I make the worst decisions. It really is easier to just stay away from them. I have lots going for me in my life but recently things have begun to fall apart and its gotten even harder to stay quit for good. I've ruined my relationship with the person I wanted to marry because of my behaviour. Sorry for the negative tone to my post - I relate a lot to how you feel. You can stop before things get too bad

I've always drank alone so can relate. I actually hate drinking with others as I always take it too far and make a fool out of myself!
