I just quit alcohol recently. I’ve never really enjoyed the flavor of any alcoholic beverages. I drink to feel it. I also have non alcoholic fatty liver disease so it’s just better I dont drink.
I went from drinking a lot in my late teens to drinking socially in my 20s and by 30s I’m done drinking.
I haven’t stopped but I’ve slowed down. Pretty natural considering I’m in my early 30’s. Between having two kids, taking on more responsibilities, not taking hangovers as well, and all our friends having less time as well, I drink a fraction of what I did in my early 20’s.
I’m much more productive as I get up fairly early even on weekends now, and generally feel like doing something instead of being tired/hungover. That’s good because now is the time to spend time with kids and set up myself for the rest of my life.
I used to drink regularly, 3-4 days a week, 4-5 beers. Got busy, married, started a family. Bought a house. It just fell off the list of things for entertainment. It's been a few decades since I drank outside of social constructs. At this point, I look more longingly at a nice bottle of fresh Orange Juice than I do a nice 6 pack of beer. I still drink just to excess a few times a year in social settings but even that's not as euphoric as it used to be.
I stopped drinking hard liquor. I'll only drink beers socially now.
