RE: I haven’t had a drink in 4 months (and I think I like it).

in #life7 years ago

Yes, I've been 'experimenting' not drinking from time to time too. It's very easy for me to not drink, but social pressure (Ohhh but this wine is VERY special! One of a kind!) is real, haha! Gosh, I just love (red) wine and appreciate a glass or two from time to time. But not weekly, really only when I feel like it or it truly enhances the meal I'm eating.

So enjoy with moderation it is for me. But I can totally see myself not drinking for months as well.

A recent post in The Guardian suggested drinking might become as socially unpopular as smoking in the future...

Yesss, the “this wine is every special” argument is SPOT ON. It can be really hard to say no, not that I won’t, but I’ve definitely noticed in the last few months how often alcohol is offered (and sometimes repeatedly). I think I’m with you in the camp of enjoying a little when it makes sense or feels like a special occasion of some sort. :) Will have to look into that Guardian article, would be interesting if it came to be!
