In my hypomania, my bipolar brain will ALWAYS tell me that I can have just a drink or two...that I can handle it, it will relax me, enhance my "up" feeling etc etc. And EVERY time, it's a horrible lie that's led to behaviors and consequences I can never undo. I've considered AA also, but like you, I wonder if it would truly help given my dx and hypomania battles. It takes a rational mind to fight off the craving, the lie...
