Yes, absolutely, as in "I will never drink again."

Drinking, in and of itself, would be the sin here. His AV would be any thinking or feeling that supports, or even suggests, any future use of alcohol (sinning by drinking).

1) I will know when it's my AV because it will involve drinking again.
2) I will know that it's a sin because it will involve drinking again.*
Yes, 1 and 2 are the same, if you believe that drinking alcohol is a sin.
