It's funny, I used to very seldom drink, maybe 3 or 4 times a year around a campfire. I was actually very preachy and couldn't stand people who drank a lot. Last week i went to florida, got a really bad sore throat and remembered an old remedy for a sore throat and figured i was on vacation anyway, so i bought a bottle of tequila. I would take a shot about once every hour or so, keeps me at a nice mild buzz, no impairment or sickness, and i like the taste of straight tequila or whisky.
I find myself nowadays very much enjoying nightly drinking doing the "one shot every 1-2 hours thing" gives a nice mellow glow, quite opiate-like, I sometimes have a bowl of herb mixed in here and there. I wake up feeling refreshed and happy with life, i find it is a great anxiolytic.
My parents are both long term functional alcoholics, 6 out of my 7 aunts and uncles are either recovered alcoholics or current alcoholics, alcoholic cousins... so ya, i guess you could say i am playing with fire. I am aware of this and have had my runs with other addictive drugs specifically opiates but never let it get out of control. I have this way of being aware of my state and being able to stop cold turkey as soon as i find it is weighing me down and becoming a problem. But for now I consider myself a low-dose daily drinker, I voted daily.
