No.

Currently experiencing this same phenomenon myself. A couple Fridays ago I didn't make it to the store for beer after work, and when I woke up Saturday morning I felt great. Have been tapering off with no real effort since.

Kids did it for me..... Now i have the opposite urge to get just hammered once every couple months. Then like clock work, i’m reminded why i don’t live that life anymore lol.

I did.

I went from a daily drinker to full stop for several years.
Suffered some bad life events and started drinking but it didn’t last long.
Now just a few drinks on the weekends and occasions.
Meditation is the reason

Yes. Was drinking, lets not say heavily, but weekend steadyish and probably one night a week 3 drinks.

Got covid, and it took that desire away.

Weird, but i like it, feel better, wake up easier, lost 6 pounds.

Yea, I used to drink a bottle of bourbon and/or a case of beer a week. Now that will last me a month or more. Too much shite to do to feel like crap the next day. Also, just as much as the next day sucks, sometimes its a toss up if my body can handle it that day, instant headaches and stomach aches sometimes with 1 or 2 drinks, just depends on the day I guess.

My friends can't understand this. All of a sudden one day I just...didn't want to drink. Then it happened more often. I'm not against drinking and I still like to have a bourbon from time to time, but there are more times when I say I'm going to sit and have a bourbon tonight and then when the time comes I'm like, nah I'm good. Drinking is no longer the focus of any event. 33 for the record.

I drank two high lifes with my cousin last week after a hunt and felt like garbage all day the next day. IDK if it is blood sugar issues or just getting older but it isn't fun anymore.

I’ve only had 4-5 drinks in 2021 and started eating a little better and I’m down ten pounds. I’m not a fat frick but that was eye opening

Loup,
I work offshore. We are now working 28 and 28 with a five day quarantine before coming out to the rig. After the first week out here of not drinking I feel amazing and I exercise the entire time I'm out here and of course no drinking. I get home and I start drinking and smoking and I feel like shite. I feel great literally at this moment typing this. I'm going to try to NOT drink at all when I get home. I'm 43 and I think it's time!
