I had to quit both cuz I abused both. They do act on similar receptors so the brain may not be able to fully recover even with only occasional pot use. I'm no expert, just have experience:-) If you can do it occasionally and it doesn't increase slowly with not having the drink and you get something out of it then it's your call. But I will always recommend full sober. It wasn't until I quit both that I got the full effect. Maybe give full sober a good 6 months to a year and see how it feels?
