I drink about 4-8 drinks a month (sometimes more, sometimes less) and it works for me. I don't see the point of giving it up completely and forever.
If you're drinking to the point of being hungover entirely for the next day (or even worse things are happening), then just turn it down a notch or two. If you can't do that, then, yes, it maybe time to give it up entirely.
