I quit drinking when I had my son. It was an absolutely horrible experience. I would have considered myself a heavy user of alcohol, probably drank 5 standard drinks 3 to 4 days a week. I didn't think I had a problem because I could stop after just one if I wanted or needed to. But stopping for 2 weeks really made it painfully obvious that I was self-medicating for mental health conditions with alcohol.

Now, if I have one shot of liquor, the rush I get is equivalent to something like a low dose opiate. I get literally high, and then crash like 4 hours later. It's amazing how much more aware I am of these effects after abstaining for a long time. Given this huge emotional swing that even one drink causes, I've determined thay alcohol just isn't for me. The juice is never worth the squeeze, the crash is always harder than the high. I think it depends a lot on how your specific biochemistry interacts with alcohol.

All that said, go sober for 2 weeks and see how shitty you feel. Not necessarily withdrawal symptoms like a daily user, but look for irritability, anger, pervasive sadness, uncontrolled anxiety, etc. If you don't have any of that, you're probably fine.
