Depends if you're an alcoholic, and only you yourself can answer that question. Everyone on here can give you an answer based on their own experiences. Many of them discovered they are alcoholics and really cant go back to drinking again without going down that slippery path. If you self-diagnose as an alcoholic, you should just avoid it all together. If you don't think you're an alcoholic, then well maybe some day you can again...but that answer needs to come from you.
I can't say much, I don't identify as anything other than powerless over my emotions that got me into a lot of trouble. I've just made the choice not to drink, because my depression can lead me to make stupid decisions...especially when I mix it with another depressant like alcohol.
