I've always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It's a disgusting narrative that ruins people's lives.

On social media, there's a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they've gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.

I appreciate that.

And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.

You think? I don't really feel any different. Ive been lazy about other things too but I think it's more because they're outdoors and I'm adverse to the cold.

Edit: My job is active and I work out a little so my body feels pretty good. Which also helps a lot. Anyway this isn't about me it's about op I'm just letting him know what's working for me.
