Anyone else "outgrown" drinking?

[Anonymous]

I loved wine - I loved cocktails - but once I hit 50 it became too hard to manage the negative effects (sleepless nights, feeling groggy the next day etc.). Over Covid one too many happy hours caught up with me. I'm much more mindful now - I still drink but less frequently and when I do drink I drink more water than alcohol over the course of the night. I'm much happier and feel and look much better, so yes, I guess I did outgrow it to a degree. I think its pretty normal - most of my friends are careful too.
