[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

People are being duped by the engagement bait and clean living, looks-maxxing babble they see on social media. All of the pretty middle aged influencers are lying and hopped up on exotic "supplements" and going under the knife. It's not simply giving up a few glasses of wine a week and drinking a kale smoothie in the morning. :roll: [/quote]

Keep guzzling that booze. That'll show 'em.[/quote]

I don't drink. I just think it's harmful to lie to people and act like quitting drinking is going to dramatically change their life, their appearance, their health, and their sleep. It's frankly unlikely to do any of those things.[/quote]

Harmful how exactly? [/quote]

Don’t feed the trolls. The alcohol lobby found the thread.[/quote]
