The AV understands "never" perfectly, and hates it. It wants to both not be recognized and try to undermine your Big Plan, and It's succeeded at both in your paragraph above by getting you to think in the incorrect "have been drinking" verb tense, as opposed to the correct "had been drinking" verb tense. In my mind this is far from an insignificant concept in AVRT - verb tense use regarading drinking/using.
Try repeating this a few times to yourself.
"I used to drink alcohol." and see if you recognize some new AV feelings connected to doubt.
