I was wondering: someone is a recovering painkiller addict. They've been clean for a while and they go to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Would they also tend to stay away from other addictive substances, even those that they've never had a problem with? Specifically, would they not have an alcoholic drink in a pub with friends?

On the other hand, that character (who is pretty easy to guess now) never really seemed like a person to attracted to alcohol, and is probably more likely to avoid it to avoid any possible risk of relapse.

Yeah, I mostly just didn't bother to name names because a sizeable percentage of my flist hasn't seen Criminal Minds, so it seemed pointless. Poor Reid. ._.

And yeeeah. I just know sod-all about addictions more serious than smoking, so I didn't know if drinking booze could relate to having a relapse if the original addiction wasn't booze. Before all that, though, I could see him maybe having one drink to be sociable (and probably getting ID'd multiple times, because he really does look about fourteen).

(Also, drunk!Reid - in the right company - would be funny. But anyway.)!
