Bryan, I get why this accusation stings so much, especially given everything you're handling. It’s deeply unfair to be lied about and judged, and it’s clear you’re feeling it acutely.

Having shipped multiple systems that process transactional data, I can tell you that trying to prove a negative like "I don't drink alcohol" through credit card receipts is a dead end. Showing you haven't bought alcohol with a card doesn't mean you haven't consumed it. Cash, gifts, or other arrangements make this data irrelevant for proving sobriety.

Legal avenues or official complaints are a more robust use of your energy than trying to use financial data to prove something it can't.
