The answer is that a non-alcoholic given a substantial reason (i.e.- spouse, kids, job, probation, health) , can and will stop drinking and not start again.

Certain text-books describe three different types of drinkers. The problem drinker is described as a person that, when drinking, experiences difficulties they would not have if they were not drinking. The next type of drinker is a "hard drinker" who may consume a large volume of alcohol on a regular basis but given a sufficient reason to cease drinking will stop.

The real alcoholic will continue drinking regardless of the what is at stake in regards to financial security, personal relationships, or his/her own health.

An alcoholic has a dependence on alcohol, experiencing physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms when they do not drink. A non-alcoholic does not have this dependence and can drink alcohol socially without experiencing negative consequences.
