Yes, of course it's clear. I don't drink ever either, ru.
My question was really more to tease out this notion presented earlier in the thread that moderate drinking is achievable
in the exact same way that abstinence is. I absolutely can decide to never drink again. I don't see that as exactly the same kind of decision making as "I can absolutely decide to have only 2 drinks", because once I've introduced a substance into my brain, my functioning is affected.

I don't care either way, since I'm a non drinker it's really moot, innit? I was just discussing it since it's a point I take issue with...and this is...um like a discussion thread. so yeah.
