Quitting alcohol

Seltzer helps me avoid alcohol when I feel like avoiding it.

I'm also amazed by how much more time it gives me. If I have a glass of wine with dinner, I don't do much for the rest of the night. If I don't, I'm more likely to go for a nice walk, do a couple of errands, clean a room, etc.

Yup. And planning it. And when your kids are older and social but can’t drive this cuts way down on evening opportunities to drink.
