I think you answered your own question. Even though it's been years since you've had a problem, if not dealt with it comes back.

One word of caution, don't be drinking on you're meds. If for no other reason than they won't work effectively and you wont get the therapeutic effect and of coarse you shouldn't be mixing medication with alcohol. I would seriously talk to you pdoc about this. She really needs to know since she's prescribing your medications.
