If there was a food item that sent you into anaphylactic shock every time you ate it, would you quit eating it? Or would you tell yourself that two or three times a year wasn't that bad. It was worth almost dying because going out and having a good time eating ___________ was so much more important. In fact, the biggest problem you face is what you are going to do if ____________ is taken from your life.

Sounds crazy, but that's where you are with alcohol, risking your life because it's fun. Is that alcoholism? I can't answer for you. But it doesn't seem like a healthy relationship with alcohol. So maybe formal recovery is a more viable option than mere abstinence.
