Obsession with alcoholic beverages and constantly getting stone-ass drunk are two different things. I think you can be completely focused on the various spirits yet never get drunk. If you want to see obsession, try touring the Jack Daniels distillery in Tennessee. You will see a workforce that takes seriously every pathetic (or glorious depending on your perspective) minute detail, all of which are followed to the letter to produce a barrel of Jack over the course of 5 years. Merely the details of how they charcoal-coat the inside of the whiskey barrels is amazing. In many cases the "letter" is nothing more than an abstract intuition gleaned over decades of experience. Yet the town is dry and heavily Baptist.

Then you have your average Joe...doesn't know squat about how the beverages are produced and doesn't give a rat's ass what he's drinking as long as he ends up all shit-faced.

But hey...I'm borderline diabetic...so I have a drink only seldom and on special occasions.

Why I don't get drunk anymore
The 12 Suggested Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol--that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
