    Do we? trust a guy that doesn't drink?

    As a non drinker myself, hell fucking no.
    This is one of the guiding principles of my life
    I don't drink because I come from a family of alcoholics and I have seen firsthand the destruction it's brought in their lives.

    Ergo I don't drink because I don't trust myself.

    50% of may grandparents were alcoholics - albeit functional ones.

    I trust myself to never go full blown alcoholic. I don't trust myself to not throw back 3 - 4 cold ones on the porch every sunny summer day (there are a lot of them).

    It's hard; it's a process.

    My dad was a highly functioning alcoholic like a lot of WW2 vets. I didn't even realize it until I was a teenager. Drinking and dinner parties and playing bridge were staples of the 60s in our house

    He wasn't mean he was withdrawn

    In my 20s I was a problem drinker. And mean. I moderated.

    For some people, moderation is a better course of action vs total abstention.
