Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that. I drank until I passed out, once I had a sip, I wanted lots more of it. I wanted to get completely drunk. The next day, all the anxiety and cravings came flooding back, and even though I resisted to drink, it was insanely tough, and you may not be so lucky, you might end up back to daily drinking very easily. It's now been 6 days sober and I am getting far more urges to drink than I did with 100+ days under my belt. Don't go there.
