My boyfriend has an alcohol problem. He stopped drinking for a week and a bit but is now saying he will have a few drinks on special occasions.
I've read that alcoholics can't occasionally drink because it will lead back to problem drinking eventually. I'll admit though, I would like to be able to have a glass of wine with a special dinner. Yesterday for our "special occasion" we had 4 drinks each throughout the day. (Mostly beer)
What should we do about this? Is it a problem?

I think it's better that he can have a couple drinks a week than abstain completely. If he BINGES on those days though it's bad. But it shows he has full control over himself if he can handle a couple beers at parties/holidays.

Are you the same poster from this weekend? If your boyfriend went into withdrawals like that poster said, then he's probably not in the spot where he can have a few on special occasions without it turning into something worse.
I believe moderation can work but it takes a TON of self control, and it's even better to have someone around that is helping you keep track of it.
You can always try it out, and if it doesn't work, start from ground zero again. Maybe try moderation management meetings, instead of something like AA?
