I certainly have, soberlicious, and there are many posts in the friends and family forums about this. In addition to coming up with its own justifications for further drinking, the addictive voice will readily incorporate scientific discourse into its bag o' tricks. It will do the same with psychological discourse, as in the case of 'coping' and 'dealing' with 'issues'. Anything and everything that might get you to view alcohol as medicine instead of poison will do.
