Hello dreamnofredsuns. You will be in my prayers. I ask people who wonder about their drinking a simple question. Is drinking ruining your life? If the answer is yes, then there are solutions to be had. I read your posts a few times and noticed that you went to your doctor and he shrugged off your worries that you get pain near your liver when you drink even a beer. Of course I am about to give you advice, so stop here if it is not welcome. It has been my experience that many doctors still do not understand, or really believe in alcoholism. You may want to go get your liver tested to be sure it is healthy. There a many different tests, and levels of testing. You could start small, and go big if you feel the need. Please do not let anyone tell you that you don't drink enough to harm yourself. It does not matter how much, when, why, et.... It only matters if you think it does.
