If you read between the lines what I was actually conveying was that if he drinks and cannot handle it (which he probably cannot as he is an alcoholic) it WILL **** up his life. Like it has done to so many of us.
I can see now my post was a bit obscure so I apologise but I tried to give a balanced opinion.
Take care all.

I was so thrilled I got the job that I felt like I should drink to celebrate. My body doesn't want me to drink because the next day I feel like cr*p, but my mind was telling me I deserve to drink and celebrate. What do you guys do in these situations? I decided to buy my wife dinner and had a glass of soda and I kinda feel that I deserve a drink. I apologize that this entire post is self-centered, just trying to do something other then drink.

Just wanted to thank everybody for there posts. You guys don't even know me and you have taken the time out to try to help its humbling.
I agree that I associate having a drink with getting drunk. I don't understand the concept of having one... whats the point.
I am going to pass on the idea of having one doesn't work. It actually doesn't even make sense even for a regular person there is really no tangable benifit to having one.
