Yup...As a recovering alcoholic that's the thing I learned that is most valued. One drink gets you drunk and no protection after that. Control is gone. It can lead to a major binge/relapse. Your only real protection is to build a wall so high that first drink can't get in and don't forget about the sneak attacks - be vigilant and always on guard!!!
