2. Being in AA for the past 16 years, when people say they only had "2 drinks" - it actually meant a bottle or more. I have to admit, I don't miss it.
I am not against drinking in general, I even buy people drinks on occasion. Would I risk a recurrance for an occasional drink (if I did drink), I think not. And as David said "I much prefer breathing".
It's a decision only you can make
