That's a weird question for me.
I can and I have but not all the time.
I can if I have responsibilities or if im on a date I wont get drunk. Or if I commit to two drinks I CAN do it but sometimes I just dont care.
Plus I try and stop for a week and then I cant. I cant "take it or leave it".
And I have had phases where im just like screw my life and I binge more than I should.
Drinking normally almost always leads to binging eventually.

This last attempt which was over about a period of a year and a big "No".
I started with a 200 ml of Rum and a six pack and gradually felt myself getting more and more jittery so wittle down to 100ml and a six pack..and so on down to 50ml to just Ok I better just cut out the rum during the week. That's Insanity.
I felt like my body was a bar of soap and alcohol was a wood carver. Doesn't work for me.

In my personal opinion nope.
If i have one can that's it i drink and drink till I'm passed out or vomiting , even then i still go for it,
Sadly and i have fought it once you have a problem complete dryness is needed , your playing a dangerous game otherwise.....

Well I wish I could moderate. Trouble was, when I moderated, I thought about it way too much. People who can just moderate, don't have to put forth the effort I had to. Even as I was doing it, I knew in the back of my mind that I would crash and burn eventually. And I did. Anyway ask whatever you want. Blessings.
