I know of plenty highly functional alcoholics. Wake up, drink. Go to work, drink. Come home from work, drink until they pass out. Wake up, repeat. It's a hell of a life to live, IMHO, but it seems to work for them. I'd choose something else.
Something that hasn't been addressed here: is it only a phase for you? I rarely drink, but every few years I'll go through a period of a few months to a year where I drink once or twice a week ... then it dies down to hardly no drinking.
Sometimes I like to drink, most of the time I don't. I am the DD 95% of the time and also don't drink 9 out of 10 times that I throw a party where everybody is getting trashed.
BUT...when I do drink, I drink to get drunk. Probably why I am not a big drinker in the first place; I don't drink for the taste of it.
