The article title and the ensuing question "Do you have the freedom to abstain?" drew me in. I had no idea that the topic or context for abstaining was alcohol. To me the question was more about abstaining generally. Anything? Everything? A quote from Gary Trudeau came to mind..... "I am trying to create a life that does not require my presence." Pardon if this is not the exact quote or for that matter even the correct quote. I am abstaining from perfection or correctness just to prove that I can. White or Red?
