What alcoholic really wants to be a "social" drinker? I mean, who in this class would want to start drinking and juuuust as they're starting to feel it, would stop suddenly? haha.
I use to romance the idea of being a social drinker until I spent some time considering just what that would be. I came to the conclusion that any alcoholic I've met wanted to drink alcoholically, be able to enjoy it AND have no repercussions.
On the flip side, I don't know any "social drinker" who has ever wanted to drink like an alkie does. They see it as being ridiculous.
