My Dr. ( believe a reformed AA member) has told to TOTALY STOP and join AA...Altough am not a DRUNK (very often) but I drunk it all since I was 16 and now am 62. Found that SCOTCH no longer settle but a CRAN VODKA can sooother the nerves. I used to be a 7 to 10 drinks a day ....now down to 3 or 3 and the stomach and throat are better.... I don't want go to REHA "NO NO NO" and or meetings, so guess moderation (A word I hate) will have to take over.....That was boring, but I got it off my chest...RON
