Sometimes you need a drink, and that's okay. I consider myself "sober" but don't and haven't ever abstained entirely. I don't want it to have that power over me honestly.
I'm sorry that happened though OP, you shouldn't ever feel like you have to prove your transness to anyone!
I'm happy if you have a healthy relationship with alcohol. Some people can handle a drink, and let that be that. But some of us don't have that ability. It's like saying "I'll just do one point of meth" it's not going to be just the one. Eventually it'll be so much that you can ruin your health, friendships, careers, etc.
I just worry that if I start drinking again I'll begin spiraling like I did before, it was scary. I once woke up in the hospital with a police officer next to me who told me he found me face down in the gutter on the side of the road and almost thought I was dead. If he hadn't found me that night I might've been.
I don't really have the tolerance I used to anymore it seems since I ended up throwing up a lot when I tried drinking some of my old vodka. I don't know how many shots it was since I used a full glass but I didn't even get through two and a half glasses before throwing up.
