I think you're misreading what Mike meant. I read his statement as the mystery is why he keeps drink when he feels so much better sober (and that matches conversations I've had with him about this).
FWIW, I spend 365 days a year sober (366, in Leap Year <s>). Most of the people I spend time with (in person) do, as well. I can't remember the last time I saw any of my close, non-VFP, friends drunk. They're not all teetotalers (as I am), but it's rare to see any of them have more than 1 or 2 glasses of wine.
I'd be curious to see median numbers for this stuff.
