I stopped drinking in October 2014, totally cold turkey. I tried a beer this past Thanksgiving (Shiner Boch, for those who are curious. Used to be my favorite), and it was awful. I drank maybe 2 ounces, set it aside, and ended up using it to make beer bread later.

Will try again Thanksgiving 2024, not expecting a different result. But Iā€™ll try

Why ingest it at all?

Because humans have enjoyed it for thousands of years? Because it is deeply embedded in our social fabric? Because it makes people feel happy? Because it is delicious?

That said, yeah I need to cut back

If I didnā€™t drink I may in fact disappear altogether. :beer: :wine_glass:

6 years ago Iā€™d have disagreed with you. Now, Iā€™ll just say itā€™s not to my tastes

There was a point in my life where my Shiner intake was measured in gallons

Iā€™m in (with the exception of a few days mid-month when the in-laws are coming to townā€¦theyā€™re world-tour-level day drinkers)ā€¦Iā€™ll make up for it by staying dry in February as well. This is my 3rd (or 4th, canā€™t recall) year of doing dry January, itā€™s always a good reset after the holidays.

Same. Jan 1 to (at least) Valentineā€™s day. I did labour day to my birthday (Oct 20) in the fall (47 days) and lost 10+ lbs and felt great.

Alright, maybe Iā€™m crazyā€¦I went dry for all of 2019ā€¦not a drop! I made a commitment to refine my diet (always a work in progress), no booze, and focused structured trainingā€¦ over the last year, I lost 10 lbs of fat I didnā€™t really even know was there, and am stronger and faster than I have ever been. I have the best sleep of my life and am more motivated than ever. thatā€™s just my experience.
