"Cheers" is my favorite too, even though I don't drink alcohol. Some people probably take it the wrong way, but whatever.

  It never occurred to me that "cheers" as a closing has anything to do with alcohol.

  "Cheers" is sometimes used instead of thank you in Great Britain I think.

    Can confirm, I’m British and often use “cheers” to mean “thank you”.

      Was going to add the same thing but wasn't sure if it was a Scottish specific or generic British thing.

  I think "cheers" would be a variant of "Cheerio", which just means goodbye - nothing to do with booze. I never had a sig - not for email, not for Usenet. At one time I just signed off with my name; nowadays I make do with a bare carriage-return. I figure people will be able to work out when they've got to the end.
