I quit drinking a couple of years ago. Getting too old for 2-day hangovers.

I'll still have a glass of wine or something every now and then if I want it, but I'm a really cheap drunk

No doubt, I drink a six pack a month if that, I don't think I have to worry about it either way.

I’ve stopped but not by choice. I sleep better and feel better. That being said, I won’t be dry for long

Didn’t cut it out entirely. But I have exactly one Bourbon (two shots) & Coke (Caffeine Free Coke Zero) every evening. No more, no less.

I've thought about it, but never pulled the trigger. I don't drink much during the week but a fair amount on the weekends.

I've always thought if I lived somewhere else other than Nola I'd probably drink less. It's just such an ingrained past time here.

It may be a poor excuse, but when it's a nice day out most people are like "ooh it's such a nice day, let's go drink somewhere" as oppose to doing something outdoors or whatnot. It makes it hard.

I probably cook with more beer than I drink.

Yes, I was not in a fit mental state to be inebriating myself.

Alcohol wasn't my problem, but it made my problems 100x worse.

Cutting the unhealthy people associated with that lifestyle did wonders as well.

I quit cold turkey for health reasons. Well, not just cold turkey but all kinds of processed sandwich meat. I haven't tried quitting alcohol though. I really like it.

I cut back a lot. Getting harder to recover at my age.

I stopped drinking beer awhile ago. Still enjoy a whiskey drink or two on the weekends though.

You think it's better to be an alcoholic drunk? You only get one chance at life.

I've been toying with the idea to only drink on the weekends. Then I come home from work tired and frustrated and crack open a beer.

I quit beer a few years ago. It was tough. I really enjoy IPAs. But I do still drink red wine and bourbon. Both are very low in carbs.
