Been there done that. Was a stock broker for most of my life. Got off work or saw a client, always booze, mostly the preferred drink, martini. Never thought I was a drunk. Second wife left me. Still I wasn't a drunk, I just worked hard. Played hard. Got real sick. Doc said I was a drunk. Didn't believe him until the emergency room deal. Quit smoking, quit drinking, quit the markets, and started my computer life. Since then I can drink and quit, yet sometimes instead of a couple of beers the six- is gone then I quit for long time again. Pretty soon its not worth the trouble of quiting so you don't do it at all. Good luck. Once you ask the question you know the answer.
