Not Drinking Doesn't Inversely Increase Happiness

The title speaks for itself.  But let's get it straight for a moment.  There's a lot of variables that impact one's level of happiness, and drinking is just one variable among the masses.  Why?  Because, although the propensity to drink herculean amounts of beer, gain tolerance, drink again, lose one's money family career, sanity and even life, are all drastic enough, not drinking doesn't guarantee inverse proportionality.  Damnit.  And i was all excited too.
