    Well i suffer with depression so that's one of the main reasons i quit. But like any addiction, when your without, depression can set in. I'm not saying everyone here is an alcoholic but i would imaging the majority of people who don't drink would be recovering alcoholics.

    For example, i would say i don't drink, but i might have the odd one. I never had a problem with drink but i would get bad depression with the hangovers. Since i have the odd drink (literally 1 in a blue moon) i might not qualify for that study.

    edit: i had depression before quitting.
