Na'ers, at least those working the program honestly, absolutely do not drink.

From the basic text:
Thinking of alcohol as different from other drugs has caused
a great many addicts to relapse. Before we came to NA many
of us viewed alcohol separately, but we cannot afford to be
confused about this. Alcohol is a drug. We are people with the
disease of addiction who must abstain from all drugs in order
to recover.
