[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also quit 1 to 2 glasses per night 3 months ago and haven't noticed any positive changes. I was promised amazing skin and sleep. If anything, I'm getting less sleep because I'm not as relaxed when I go to bed now. [/quote]

Exactly. There's been a flood of articles about how quitting a nightly glass of wine will positively impact your life. I buy that it positively impacts my life in a kind of cold statistical way. But it doesn't make your skin glow and your sleep improve and any of the other host of benefits described.

A friend of mine qhit for 1.5 months and told me that she felt no different. She seemed relieved when I told her I also do not feel any changes. I'm starting to think that my experience is widespread but that we are all inundated with messages that our lives will become magical and we will achieve spiritual enlightenment that we currently cannot attain due to penchant for a glass of wine at night. Everyone who's chimed in here says their experience was like mine. If you drank at these levels and quit and experienced measurable improvements in sleep, skin, etc please chime in. [/quote]

Yes, I've seen all these Instagrammers talking about how alcohol is "literally poison" and professing to feel so much better without it.  :shock: I think some of the current movement is due to the cancer risk (very valid) and some is just the buzzword of the moment. [/quote]
