<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I don't have any alcoholic tendencies at all.  I enjoy an occasional drink, and I also enjoy getting drunk (just past tipsy, but definitely not blackout drunk) every now and then,   but I never feel as if I NEED to drink/get drunk,  nor do I ever desire it when I'm sober.  I know my limits,  and when I'm drinking,  I always know when I'm at that point; The point where you know you need to slow down. 

I grew up with an alcoholic father. He was a great dad and was never abusive or anything like that at all.  But he was always drinking.  It never seemed like a problem,  until my mother finally had enough of living with a drunk and called him out on it,  resulting in a huge fight (verbal, nothing physical).   He went to AA and was sober for like 10 years or so, but now he drinks again,   but I digress.

I'm always scared to death (maybe paranoid is the better word) that my wife might be thinking the same thing as my mom,  but just doesn't have the guts to say anything.   I drink maybe one or two drinks a week, as does my wife,  usually a beer after work or wine with dinner.   Maybe once a month, we'll go downtown with friends,  though I'm usually the sober driver.  I finally had  the nerve to ask my wife if she had any thoughts/concerns/worries about me and alcoholism. She swears to me that she has zero doubts about me, and if any ever arose, she wouldn't hesitate to say anything.  I believe her.
<bot>: Do any of you have a constant worry/fear/paranoia that you are/will end up an alcoholic, even though you have no problems with alcohol? Am I irrational for feeling this way?
