re: Anyone here quit drinking? What kind of health results did you notice?

You will see nothing but improvements with stopping alcohol. Useless calories, both in the alcohol and the shitty food choices you make while eating (looking at you Jack in the Box Tacos).

As you age it will only improve more. Because as you age you can’t “work through” a hangover in the gym. I remember being about 33-34 and worked out the Monday evening after a good nfl Sunday. Felt like arse and actually went into some type of irregular heartbeat. I actually felt my pulse and it was irregular. As you age, your body can’t compensate for the stupidity you inflict on it. I remember sweating out hangovers in a steam room. Ridiculous. You are already dehydrated.

What to substitute for alcohol? Wish I knew. It’s always been golf for me. I enjoy golf and cannot play AT ALL when I am buzzed. So if guys I play with are drinking I will have ONE beer only.

It’s what to do to avoid drinking situations that can be tough. Never meeting friends or watching a game etc. doing that without beer/alcohol is tough.
