Hey Joemero, Once you start to question whether you have a "problem" or not, you probably do. I stopped drinking when my first child entered high school. I had anger and confusion towards my parents in high school because of their drinking so I didn't want my kids to experience that. Yes, I had become a wine connosiuer by 12th grade. So as I tried to be good and a role model for my teen-ager, in her first summer job in college as a Girl Scout camp counselor she got fired for drinking beer. Needless to say, as soon as she left for college I started drinking again but "hiding" it from our second teen-ager. Now he is gone, we're "empty nesters" and I'm back into the old habits. Personally, and from experience, I can not moderate. It's a decision to become alcohol free or not. Best wishes to you, what ever path you take.
