> Can you go 7 days without drinking?

Yes, but I've also been blackout drunk, more than once. I can't really keep beer in the house, because much like a binge eater with sweets, I have surprisingly little self-control and will consume it all in little time.

I recognize I have a family history of addiction. I also recognize I can slow down and moderate, but honestly with no level of alcohol consumption being safe for our health, why shouldn't I just quit altogether?
