It's not a struggle to not drink (other than potential social impacts).

The problem is that once you start you have a set of well-worn reward pathways in your brain that want more of it.

A true cure would need to look at neuroplastic, genetic, and environmental factors that lead to an addiction response. But what's the point when you can just not drink, which is unhealthy anyway.
