Occasional Drinking (less than weekly)

Winefree,
Someone here once stated that if you were a daily heavy drinker, it is likely that you will NOT be able to drink moderately. Too much damage may have already been done to your system. I don't know if that includes you. I was mostly a weekly heavier drinker, with a few drinks on weekdays.

Sun, did you mean that someone who was a daily heavy drinker CAN'T moderate, they find they have to be totally AF? That is more like what I have heard other people on these boards say....

I'm so new to all this, going AF for a long period of time sounds so overwhelming, but thinking I can moderate/occasional right out of the chute scares me too. I guess ODAT is about the only spot I can be today!

Thanks for sharing your insights! Between you and Moo I'm getting good information for a newbie!

Scrubby,
Thanks, I have edited my post now. I left out that very important word NOT. My apologies, I definitely don't want to encourage anyone who should not be trying this.
