I was once a heavy drinker in high school, but have since slowed things down VERY much and managed to graduate with 2 high level awards for major and minor and the highest general honors... I feel in control...
BUT--> I still drink pretty heavily 1 night a week, very occasionally 2 since its the only time I get to kick back (weekends)...
Can this lead to alcohol-reliance or severe damage because of my past? Should I be worried?
I plan on stopping when I enter law school next year entirely... Before that, .I'm travelling for a month, and where I'm going I HAVE to enjoy the wine.... After I plan to drink at only weddings and sepcial occasions.. I guess I am just worried about my body.
How much damage could I have done from highschool until college graduation? I've been reading up and its making me... nervous!
I've known people to drink much more, but who knows where THEY'LL be in 20 years!

The problem being you might end up with Alcohol dependency. Likewise damage done now will not show until you are older by which time it is too late. The idea is in moderation which means moderation not binge drinking or getting drunk at family occasions. Try and give it up for 'two weeks' no alcohol whatsoever and see if you make it? If you feel the need to drink then you have a serious problem.
