This is the second time you've misquoted the BB regarding this saying........see the thread 'Quality vs Quantity, your post #39 on 5/15 and my response #43, also from 5/15.
I will repeat myself here; check out the BB and see if I'm not correct. Sober alcoholics, in the BB, are NOT described as 'friendly, able, and intelligent people.'
That phrase is from The Doctor's Opinion, page xxviii, where it is describing different 'types' of still active alcoholics.............: "...Then there are types entirely normal in every respect except in the effect alcohol has upon them. They are often able, intelligent, friendly people..."
