Hi TaintedLove

Wow, alcohol can definately decrease "inhibitions" and also act as a depressant, so bad combination if the urges are already there........
It will depend on how it effects you personally though, perhaps reflect on your feelings........and actions.......after drinking.
It might be that one, two, three drinks are fine at those times but any more than that........not good.........so maybe about limiting it depending on how you're feeling.
It might be that some different alcoholic drinks don't effect you in that way as much, so perhaps try something else.........
Or maybe schedule when you might have a drink/few drinks to a day that you know might be better e.g. you aren't going to be facing as many triggers on that day.......that's if you have any days like that........
So, yes, giving up drinking at those times would be great considering.........but just some thoughts on whether you really have to there...........don't know whether they may help or not but............
