Why would my mum want to give up alcohol when she hasnt got an addiction?

Question by me, my self and I: Why would my mum want to give up alcohol when she hasnt got an addiction?
She said she is giving up alcohol but she hasnt got an addiction. She only drinks alcohol once in a while in small doses. I asked her if she is going on a diet and she says no. She went through a phase of being a buddhist so is she going through another phase. She said she will only drink it on special occasions.

She’s called an American Hippie. A hippie is someone who decides out of the blue that it is wrong to do something. For example, a hippie might say animal abuse is wrong, but in turn eat tuna fish because it’s “healthy.”

Next thing you know she’s going to be a PETA member and gone veggie because it’s the right thing to do. Like every American Hippie, they switch between likes and dislikes over time. So your mom will be back to drinking alcohol in no time. Just don’t stress it too much.
