I stopped many decades ago. I was drinking to null out the past pain mostly emotional. I now can drink a beer or 2 and not want another one even telling people I've had enough and to back off if they fuck with me to celebrate more. Now for you people here that have not got to that stage or maybe never will I congradulate you for taking control of your lives and wish you the best since alcohol is a poison and will kill you or just destroy your life eventually if let to run amoke. As Ozzy calls it Demon Alcohol since it will get you to do fucked up shit that hurts you or others when you've let it consume you full. Keep up the great work and don't think that the drinkers still are having more fun since when sober watching really drunk friends you realize they're really stupid when drunk and are a pain in the ass since you don't know when one is going to go violent or just billigerent and getting them to not hurt someone else or end up in jail is like the world's most frustrating job. So love the fact your liver is celebrating not dying via poison today and just live like alcohol was never invented and your life will be so much simpler for the time being. Hell get stoned, more control over yourself and relaxed and no vomiting or hangovers.
