Maybe I am different but anytime I see a thread like this a thought pops into my mind. When I quit drinking I drank to get drunk. I didn't want one or two to take the edge off. What is so appealing about the thought of just having one or two drinks that is worth risking sobriety for? What is so special about being a social drinker that it would even be an issue? Nothing. "Normal" drinkers could have a drink and then care less if they ever had one again in their life. Only Alkies could aspire to being a social drinker because alcohol holds such a high priority in their life that they can't imagine going the rest of their life without a drink.
