Stephen  Michael Dion appeals  from a                      __________            sentence  imposed upon  revocation  of a  term of  supervised            release.   None of the  arguments Dion raises  on appeal were            presented  to  the sentencing  court.    Having reviewed  the            briefs and record, we find no error (much less plain error).                      First,  the imposition  of  an  additional term  of            supervised release was within the district court's authority.            See  United  States v.  O'Neil, 11  F.3d  292, 301  (1st Cir.            ___  ______________     ______            1993).   Dion has offered no persuasive reasons to reconsider            our holding in O'Neil.                             ______                      Second, there is ample  evidence in the record from            which  the district  court  could conclude  that  Dion has  a            history  of alcohol abuse.  The two new special conditions of            supervised release  were clearly directed at  addressing this            problem.   Cf. United States v. Thurlow,  44 F.3d 46, 47 (1st                       ___ _____________    _______            Cir.)  (per  curiam) (no  abuse  of  discretion in  requiring            defendant  to  abstain from  consuming  alcohol  in light  of            personal history and continuing alcohol abuse), cert. denied,                                                            ____________            115  S. Ct.  1987  (1995).    We  are  persuaded  that  these            conditions   are  rationally   related   to   the  goals   of            rehabilitation, deterrence, and protection of the public.                        Affirmed.                      ________                                         -2-
