Will having one drink on special occasions matter?

Gail Priddy (Deputy Director) gives expert video advice on: What is a relapse?; How can I stay off alcohol?; Why do people start drinking again? and more...

If you have a serious problem, then unfortunately the idea of having one drink will possibly slip when you've had that one drink. So, at a wedding, christening, or whatever, people will often think it's quite a good idea to just have one. They will come into the agency in which I work talking about that. But one drink leads to a lot more, and they find themselves back in a similar situation. If you don't have a problem with alcohol, then, no, it won't hurt at all.
