Here's why:
* "Alcoholic" describes a person with a dependence on alcohol. It's a medical and social term.
* Prefixes typically modify the meaning of a word, but they don't create direct opposites.
Instead of seeking an antonym with a prefix, consider using words that describe the opposite condition:
* Sober: Meaning not under the influence of alcohol.
* Temperate: Meaning moderate in the consumption of alcohol.
* Abstaining: Meaning refraining from alcohol.
* Non-alcoholic: Meaning not containing alcohol.
You can also use phrases like:
* Not an alcoholic
* Free from alcoholism
* Not addicted to alcohol
It's important to remember that using language about addiction and recovery should be done with sensitivity and respect.
