[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've recently stopped drinking as well. Not because of Dry January, but because I am almost 50 and have noticed that my body just cannot handle alcohol well. At all. Even one beer will cause me to wake up with a headache. So its just not worth it to me. I haven't had a drink since mid-December and I don't miss it all. I was never a big drinker in the past--I would maybe have one drink with dinner twice a week. When I have gone out, I've gotten a mocktail or a soda or a non-alcoholic beer and it's fine.

I will say, I haven't noticed much of a positive benefit though. I haven't lost weight, I sleep worse than I did before, I don't necessarily have more energy. I think that's perimenopause setting in though. But it's cheaper, so there's that!

I'm confused why you would think going from 2 drinks a week to zero would have any impact on your life ?

You mention not losing weight, sleeping worse, not having more energy.  What?!

Removing 2 drinks a week literally would have no impact on these things.  At all.  It's just a big nothing relative to what you eat/drink over the course of 7 days.
