I know full well how bad alcoholism can go. But also, there is this looming assumption that just because I have bp, I better not drink. I don't like that assumption. Not every bp becomes alcoholic.

More likely is the # of alcoholics who had something else going on that didn't get dx'd or helped with that comorbidity.

I like to drink sometimes, take it or leave it usually. Sometimes have cravings when hypo. Fine wine with good food is a nice treat.
