re: Pondering being a quitter. Drinking.

If you are drinking enough to be hungover, you are drinking too much. Alcoholism sneaks up on most people. If you can't enjoy a drink or two and stop you need to not drink at all for a while if not quit altogether.

It's really just a waste of money and time. There are better more productive things to do with both. If it's too engrained in your social group, start changing your social group.
