I'm thinking about doing the same but only temporarily to save some money. :) We have high alcohol taxes in Finland and it's good to take a break every once in while. I like beer all too much to give it up for good. If I lived in New England, I'd probably make some effort to learn about the microbreweries there. We have craft beers beers mostly from New England and California in the supermarkets and liquor stores here.
I gave up telling people I gave up drinking, because it insinuates that I had a drinking problem ... when I have no problem with drinking. =)
For you however, there's an 81% chance that you will consume alcohol at some point (again) due to your income (#science). It, of course, would begin socially, then can turn into a semi-regular basis, while a majority in your bracket will remain able to drink in moderation, a sizable chunk of the minority will fall to the addiction disease.
Best of luck Ned!
Oh and ... I like your guitar playing, and your hair ... but not the way you line up your beard. =)
Good decision

How would you like to see it lined up? :)
I'm really into the "don't give a shit" look lately, so this is the best example I can find quickly...
But, being completely honest, this would not do wonders for the price. =)
LOL'ed pretty hard.
