No I believe there are various manifestations of alcoholism rabbitgirl.

In this case the original poster has been drinking almost every day, so (in my opinion) abstaining is likely to reveal if there's a problem or not..
Obviously abstaining for months is what some bingers can do anyway, so I wouldn't suggest that in those cases.
