We agreed before we got into a relationship that drinking was our own problem, that we alone as individuals had responsibility for, but also said that if one of us started drinking again it would be a problem for the relationship.
I guess it became a part of our relationship commitment.
Personally I found it helped me, when we were together I felt comfortable drinking tea or soft drinks when we went to a restaurant, I didnt feel like I was missing out.
In summary, I would go for it without too many concerns.
