I've had this same conversation and it was great. This is one reason I follow the social media accounts focused on the choices people make about drinking (or not), alcohol's role in their lives, what they want to be like.....especially important for women because of the increasing numbers of women drinking in certain age groups along with the harsher effects of over-drinking (even if they aren't alcoholics) on our bodies.
I think conversations about anyone who is questioning alcohol habits etc is so valuable.
