I gave it up cold turkey for 6 months.

My family disowned me, wife left me, I got fired from my job and my friends finally sat me down and told me to stop being so fricking boring. Now I’m back to drinking socially and enjoying life

ETA: but if you’re seriously considering giving it up just know you don’t have to. Find the happy medium and only have a couple drinks, don’t get blackout and you’re fine. Keep working out too

If you have an alcohol problem this won't work. One drink is too many and ten is never enough.

Yea.... easier said than done. I had a buddy who told me he was quitting and he just didn't seem like an alcoholic to me so I questioned it but was supportive. Little by little I learned he had a total inability to have a few beers or a drink or 2 without stopping till he felt like shite the next day.

I'm really thankful I can moderate, but some cant

Outside of a glass of wine with a nice meal or a small glass of bourbon, I struggle to see the point in drinking at all if you’re just going to have a few. Does nothing for me. It’s like foreplay that ends abruptly without the orgasm. Might as well just leave your dick in the pants and drink soda water with lime or non alcoholic beer.
