[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drink 1-2 glasses of wine most evenings. So moderate to heavy.  I read things like that I had to pee at night or woke up at night because of the alcohol. I read that alcohol caused weight gain and if you quit drinking, it just falls off. Relationships improve, they say.

None of this has happened for me. Possibly, I may experience less anxiety. But that's hard to tell for sure and hard to pinpoint causation.

I'm not going to reverse course, I'm kind of stuck with not drinking due to a medical reason. But, I do want to say that people are kind of overhyping the immediate benefits. If you're doing dry January, do it for the mental discipline, do it for the hot chocolate. The rest of it is kind of misleading.  [/quote]

This was me. I was a slightly heavier drinker and went cold turkey and didn't drink for a year. I felt about the same, no obvious physical differences. It's obviously better long-term but I really didn't feel any better or different at all. [/quote]
