I serve alcohol to guests.
I have a number of beers on a shelf, inside a closet and covered by a towel. I have wine in that closet as well. The alcohol is there for guests.
Seeing as I no longer drink alcohol, this poses no problem at all.
The reason I don't keep the beer in the fridge, is I simply do not wish to look at it every time I open the fridge and grab a soda water.
Out of sight out of mind. If I was ever tempted to have a beer, I'd have my wife dispose of them.
My wife only drinks when out or with guests and she'll have one single glass of wine.
