Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by : Is it ok to drink alcohol while on probation for a non alcohol related violation for disorderly conduct?
Basically the terms of the probation didn’t say anything about refraining from alcohol just not to get re-arrested for any violation and to attend counseling sessions. I am not that much of a drinker anyway though, so I don’t think it would be much of an issue to have a beer on occasion

It would be a risk to drink in public, so if you want a beer then do it at home.

They are very similar, since both are just different flavors of addiction. Even a compulsive gambler at a slot machine exhibits brain activity like that of a drug addict getting high.
