Because this is an addiction that finds all kinds of subtle ways of drawing us back in, we can't afford to experiment, or just try it to appease some sort of curiosity. There shouldn't be any. We know that there is no condition under which we can safely drink because we are alcoholics. THIS IS THE BASIS of any sort of recovery work.
Personally, the moment I put drink to lips, no matter what justification I used, I might as well throw away anything I think I know or have learned about my disease or recovery from it because I don't know the first thing about it. I obviously haven't learned a thing, because I still haven't accepted that I can't drink.
