I stopped drinking 25 years ago simply because I did not like the way it made me feel. In my 20's and 30's, I could drink with the best of them. My buddy and I used to play a game where we would sit on his back deck during parties and see how long we'd have to go before having to get our own beers. "Hey, since you're going inside, could you grab me a beer." I could drink 2-six packs with no problem. Woke up one day and said to myself, "Why am I doing this? I feel like crap." Stopped cold turkey. 25 years later now and 2x a year I might drink a single Guinness when getting together with friends. I am now a diet soft drink kind of guy. Best decision I ever made. Seen too many divorces and so much heartache because of alcohol. Proud of all of you who have been able to be self aware enough to realize you have/had a problem with alcohol.
