Drinking is a behavior, and so it naturally requires choices be made both to drink or not to drink. This doesn't speak to what motivates those choices though, what sustains those choices, and what deconstructs those choices.
Suicide is a choice too. Do we really want to believe those who off themselves have made a free choice?
I didn't think so.
