If you were taking an alocholic evaluation, there probably would be some checks in the alcoholic behavior section. I'm 2 years, 7 months sober after a 42 year drinking career and I have proven to myself without doubt that my life is better off. No hangovers the next morning, more money in my pocket, and it is one less problem that I have to deal with. I believe anybody can live without alcohol. Rootin for ya.
