I was thinking the same thing as you when you mentioned someone who is newly vegan or vegetarian. My parents don't drink and it was a pretty big deal when I let them know that I had started at the age of 24. There does seem to be a push towards stopping. I think many people burned themselves out during Covid maybe. I know I didn't do my liver any favors during that time. Where seltzers used to be the hot market, I have heard that non alcoholic drinks are the new thing. I've seen several people who have gotten quite healthy by quitting. As a couple who continuously struggle with their weight (despite exercising five days a week and eating healthy), but wife and I both know that we could probably get better results if we cut the Friday and Saturday night drinking out of our lives. What fun would that be though!?
You didn’t start drinking until age 24?? 😳
I suppose the weight thing is one factor for alot of people, which I never really considered much as not something I’ve ever had to worry about with my body type.
seltzers… lol. I eventually tried a White Claw cuz there seemed to be so much buzz about them… I don’t get ‘em, man. Lame. 😹
I don't get them either. I am more of a whiskey guy. I don't even drink beer that much anymore. Yeah, it is a religious thing. None of my immediate family drinks. My wife's family on the other hand...
