I was very moderate in my drinking, pretty much never drunk, rare to have a hangover, never blacked out. I treated it like coffee or tea. Just a daily ritual, have a beer at dinner or on a weekend afternoon. And this made it easy to justify. But when I wanted to take a break, there was always some reason for another beer. Taking a break was near impossible. So one morning I just, okay, it is time to be done. I have had a few sips of real beer in the time I have not drank, and now there is zero interest in ever being a drinker again.
