Even though you may not have had that much, health benefits are definitely there.
Especially for any older parent to young kids, taking steps to optimise your own longevity is pretty much acting responsibly the way I see it.
I did it nearly three years ago primarily for longevity reasons, but the role modelling aspect is starting to dawn on me. My 13 year old son has at least one parent (I'm divorced) who doesn't need alcohol to survive various settings - I think he'll have a much more conscious approach to it.
One of my biggest fears is him getting into a car with a drunk kid driving. Have already started to talk to him about it, even though he's likely years away from it being a possible thing.
