A member asked:
Can someone who was an alcoholic have a few beers from time to time? will it trigger withdrawal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough; case by case: Most individuals who have struggled with alcoholism in past and can drink in moderation after a sustained period of abstinence only if they have done the recovery work of building relationships and routines that are supportive of health and not tied to drinking. It is still risky. I've known people who thought they could do it after 20 years of sobriety and couldn't. Consider the risks.
