My RO said occasional alcohol was OK. I was a casual drinker before and now I only drink if we attend parties which is only about 6 a year and I only drink beer, sangria or champagne and never enough to regret it the next day. For whatever reason I'm a "cheap date" now as one or two drinks hit me just as much as 6 would before.
