There is a lot of excess in the world. I’m lucky that I never went thru a phase where I drank to excess. That being said I did have one or two hangovers in my life. I did drink socially for a part of my life, but about 10 years ago I gave up drinking. I did so because I found that alcohol caused migraines and honestly it just wasn’t worth the medical issues for me. However, I will say it is sad that to this day I have to explain when I don’t drink. There is usually someone in a social group that finds it strange when someone doesn’t drink alcohol. However, I’ve noticed over time more people also don’t drink.

Good point about social stability. Allan Carr has a famous book called “The Easy Way to Quit Smoking” which is famous for getting people to quit cold turkey just by reading it. I found another book by him in a used bookstore, called “The Easy Way to Quit Drinking” because I was curious about his techniques, not because I thought I should quit. He talks about the reasons to quit, but the main twist is that he mainly dismantles the reasons people have TO drink. So I ended up convinced as well, and quit for about 9 months. I eventually did start up again in one specific situation: ‘happy hour” with friends (co-workers really). Even if we get together for board games it’s really half about drinking as well. I should probably make some friends who aren’t just co-workers (and start losing when they change jobs) and aren’t just “happy hour” friends as well.

I can count on both hands how many times Ive been really drunk. I can count on one hand how many times Ive enjoyed the experience.

It aint worth it. Im done.

So should we have a glass of red wine or not? I know there’s foods that have the same anti oxidant benefits? But i always heard red wine is good for you
