I have not had a dring in 3 years. It started because of my stomach problems and not mixing alcohol with the medication I had to take and it continued even when I stop using medication. I still have fun and I still smile, so, you do not need alcohol for that. But, to be perfectly honest, I never used it for that anyway. I was never drinking for the purpose to get drunk and I never understood that. When something tastes good I drink and/or eat it. So, on that note, I miss wine sometimes lol because I did enjoy the taste.

Thanks for sharing your perspective here! @natureofbeing wrote earlier that we often only hear about people abstaining because of really extreme circumstances, but there are a lot of other, less dramatic reasons folks decide to drink less (or not at all) than the norm. Appreciate your thoughts and your story (and ya, a good glass of wine can be pretty great...I’m a fan of cold rosé in summer...)
