For the first time in 6 years I've gone 10 days without alcohol. I didn't realize how much money I was blowing on booze and I feel 10x better. If anyone else is where I was two weeks ago just stop ASAP, you deserve better and will financially profit from this.

Based. I haven’t had a drink in 7 months and I feel great

Good for you. Just wait till your brain starts gradually recovering over the next 12-24 months. You will feel like you gained 20-30 IQ points

Nice work, anon. I'll be 2 years in January. I found you have to not want that life anymore. You'll find you want to improve in other areas, too. It's a godsend.

I fell for the modest drinking meme. Now I'm trying to go at least a year straight so that I reset my brain chemicals, I'm about a month in.

>>51548862
>tired
Sleep is my main reason for doing it. But it also changes your brain in more subtle ways that basically make you a retarded normie.

I didn't drink for 6 months now I drink once or twice a week, wine. Am I fucked?

[Anonymous No.51551560]

Same. I was just a weekend drinker, but its crazy considering the fact that I've drank literally every week for 5+ years. Cut it out for no reason, just cause I don't feel like drinking, and I do feeo a lot better, getting better sleep and all that

[Anonymous No.51551804]

>>51551452
Yes. Any habitual drinking is not good. I would recommend to listen to this entire thing:

just do fasting a couple times it's like a hard reset

[Anonymous No.51552092]

Should i only drink wine BUT only in parties and gatherings? As in toasts or celebrations? Going to a wedding next month but i dont wanna feel weird or make others weird with my choice

[Anonymous No.51552165]

Try being catholic anon, fast 2x a week, no drinking to excess, no jerking off. Generally a healthier lifestyle

[Anonymous No.51552183]

It's hard because it's so much fun and I like my drunk personality. I have been using it to be entertaining when sexting with eGirls. I don't know, op, is it really worth going through life not having this much fun?

[Anonymous No.51552209]

Good advice OP. Noted.

Hepatic/renal health and longevity

>>51552092
That's mostly fine, just have one or two, past the initial buzz you face diminishing returns. The thing is there's pretty much constant holidays/birthdays/weddings so it might not be as moderate as you think.
I'll also refer you to this video >>51551804

ok I will, but what about the heart benefits?
relaxation / antistress?
I mostly do it to support the arcade I go to so I'm not a freeloader

[Anonymous No.51554985]

>>51554872
heart benefits are for fat fuck smokers only. and even then it's only for a subset with the right genetics

[Anonymous No.51555073]

>>51554985
Probably also for social drinkers because it offsets the heart problems caused by being a loner.

Is the fun really worth damaging your body and brain more than heroin junkies are damaging theirs?

[Anonymous No.51555309]

No I just drank alone and shitposted on 4chan

I went 1 year and notice a big difference.

Also you'll probably put on a bit of weight if you were drinking a lot. My weight spiked around 6 months and then tapered back down a bit around 1 year. I'm active as fuck too, shit's weird

[Anonymous No.51555411]

Who do people think they're kidding with these stupid fucking graphs? If the same amount of regular alcohol drinkers were doing heroin or crack instead society would be utter apocalyptic chaos

[Anonymous No.51555425]

>>51554872
>heart benefits
idk anon it seems that any benefit was overstated and doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
I used to quote some meme statistic that people who drank any amount lived longer than those who don't but that's not really a justification

>antistress
it makes you stressed when you have a dependence

>so I'm not a freeloader
One aspect I'm not totally sure how to handle myself, it's fine that establishments expect me to financially support them it's a little odd when they expect me to do it by purchasing alcohol.

>>51555348
That's weird, but maybe not, hormones control us so much more than we realized and anything that disrupts them causes major changes.

>Harm to Users
>Harm to Others
Look at it closely

[Anonymous No.51555521]

>>51555411
The "harm to others" part is exclusive to the UK, where crack and meth is not a widespread problem, so disregard that part. The only thing that matters to this thread is the "harm to users" part, and one regular dose of alcohol is more harmful to the brain and body than one regular dose of heroin. The study brought in the top 30 drug experts in the UK and had all of them assess each drug and that chart shows the average of their assessments, which is the closest thing we will get to the truth, unless of course your anecdotal experiences with heroin users and alcoholics overrides theirs
