I have enough trouble dealing with depression without having alcohol make it worse. I don't have alcohol at home, but I will sometimes drink elsewhere. No real drunkenness 30 years. I drank enough at a party and woke up and had no idea how I had gotten there. That and the hangover was enough to convince me that I should put the brakes on.
