But we all have our own boundaries, personally, I long ago stopped asking people why they weren't drinking. I've had more than a few friends who quit drinking after serious alcohol problems, so I've learned to just let non-drinker be non-drinkers without my questioning why. It's there business and no concern of mine.

Anyway, thank you for the encouragement.
