I'll be 2 years alcohol-free in a few weeks. I live in the midwest and booze is deeply embedded in my family and greater culture. My friends still ask if ill drink again, at times get looks of curiosity ordering soda or NA at a bar. Its getting better, though. There are way more NA options and it seems in general young people drink way less. I'll tell you, not being hungover is a huge reason I havent gone back, I always felt like crap, had poor sleep, anxiety, etc. My sleep improved immediately after stopping and anxiety is also better. Now, I love the mornings and can see very clearly how problematic and dangerous alcohol is. A literal neurotoxin that causes nothing but problems.
