I stopped drinking about 5 years ago. I was extremely overweight and I needed to start taking care of myself better. I'm in much better shape now, but I still don't drink.
What I learned from not drinking, is that getting drunk all the time is like trying to play the game of life on hard mode, and I'm not particularly good at it on the easiest setting. So I just prefer to not drink anymore.
That's nice to hear. Maybe I'll lose some weight too.
In addition to hating the consequences, I also don't get that much "relief" from drinking. In some ways I wish I did because it's so convenient.

I got a lot of instantaneous gratification, but it would effect me negatively for days on end. Even though I wasn't hungover, I had a hard time being motivated for days after.
The easiest way to drop some weight by the way is to stop drinking your calories. Doing that alone usually has positive outcomes for people.

Great perspective, thanks.
