The only thing worth doing with drinking is eradicating it. Remove it completely from your life, cease and desist. Replacing it connotes a place holding, as in if any place holders are removed a space reopens and drinking is a viable candidate as a 'hole stuffer'.
I think I appreciate the sentiment? Along the lines of free yourself from the drudgery of addiction and use your new found freedom( and time) in healhier and happier pursuits, yeah?
It's just that the AV listens and place shifting feels like a way to temporarily shuffle the deck and perhaps replay some old cards if 'need' be.
Replace drinking with not drinking and live your life
