Do you have to stop drinking completely? Yes. And no. If you have the physiological makeup of an alcoholic then you have to stop drinking completely. Because you can't drink without the alcohol taking control and 'driving you to drink'. How do you know if that's the way it is for you? Easy. When you drink can you stop? When you drink are you drinking to get drunk? When you drink does your personality radically change––do you become Mr. Hyde? Can you drink one or two glasses and stop? Do you have to have a drink or you will go berserk?

Answer yes to any of these questions and YES you have to stop drinking completely.
