haha, that is beautiful. What a response! TST, would you like to put a small wager on what trach's answer will be?
I would just like to add that I personally did and do not advertise the "not drinking or quit drinking" thing. First, no one needs to know, people have a tendency to put their own spin on it, and god knows down the line how far off track they get with telling other people about your decision. Also, actions speak much louder than words. Just do it. Just don't go out this week, no need for any elaborate explanation. And don't give into peer pressure (I know, its hard).
