I greatly respect and admire your decision to give up alcohol. It would certainly be for the best for us all. I greatly admire president Trump for the example he set also.
I have given up tobacco (very hard), and have seriously considered giving up drinking too...I have to maintain a CDL for my semis, I have to be careful with my ccp and I'm a volunteer fireman basically on-call 24-7
I applaud you, especially for being a volunteer fireman! It's a rewarding, but at times, seriously hard thing to do. There was a neighborhood fire at a friends' apartment on Christmas eve when we lived in an older neighborhood in Waterville, ME. The fire started in a ceiling fixture and did little damage, but several of the volunteer firemen had started celebrating early and it was difficult to watch as a few were stumbling around, trying to hook up the hoses. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished without much damage to the structure.
