I agree with Sharon.
After being sober a few 24 hours, I still regard alcohol as bigger than myself.
I still respect it as something which can kill me.
I am around it socially quite a bit and, of course, I see it in grocery stores and restaurants quite a bit.
Although it doesn't bother me these days, I am still mindful of its presence and lethal power.
My wife and I serve wine or beer for parties, although those occasions are fairly rare.
Everyone's mileage may vary on this matter, but I am still very careful around alcohol.
