Thanks for your replies everyone.

When I say a few I'm talking like 2-3 beers on weekends.

The period where I drank heavily was a very dark period in my life. I strongly believe it was very *situational* alcohol abuse. I am in a massively better headspace now and I don't believe it will be an issue. Evidence of this is that before that negative period I would only socially drink and it was never a problem.
