Hi Breaking, welcome, it is good to have you here. You will hear many different perspectives on whether or not it is possible to "learn" to drink moderately. For me, I know this is not possible. Like you, I am in a business where alcohol and "social drinking" is the norm. I have now been AF for almost three years and only on rare occassions to I get somone trying to push alcohol on me. Sometimes I find that simply saying a firm "no Thanks" works or even just walking away stops this! Oddly enough some very successful business people are none drinkers, Donald Trump and Gene Simmons to name a couple. Odly enought neither has ever had a drinking problem! Also I see no reason to offer any explaination as to why I do not drink as it is really no ones business.
Many here have shared some great information. I know that you will get this figued out!
Best Wishes!
Kate
