I haven't consumed any drugs, haven't been intoxicated in a little over three weeks now. My main problem was with illicit substances, never really had a problem with alcohol. When I would drink, I would usually have a drink or two, not enough to get drunk, just feel a little elated, have conversation with friends. That would happen maybe once a week, once every two weeks, usually less than that, rarely more than that. Occasionally, maybe once every three or so months, I'd actually get drunk, have four plus drinks in one night. Didn't drink 'cause I felt sad or anxious, or to escape from anything like I did with other drugs. Was mostly just a social drinker. Never really cared for being drunk, one of the worst ways to get intoxicated from my experiences. Since I've quit using drugs, I haven't been drinking either. Figured may as well stay away from alcohol too, don't want to trade one bad habit for another. Concerns with, "well, I know I didn't drink much in the past, but that was because I was usually too intoxicated on other substances. Now that I've cut those substances out, what if I start drinking excessively to fill that void?"

Anyway, to the point. Last night I had a beer with my dad, just one. Felt nice, had a slight buzz. Tonight I had a martini with my mom, again, slight buzz. Now my question is, since I haven't had problems with alcohol in the past, is this considered breaking sobriety? I know alcohol is considered a drug as well, hence the concern. Also, would it be wise to try drinking like I used to during this period of cleansing from other substances? Or is the concern about picking up another bad habit enough to warrant not drinking at all?
