[quote=Anonymous]In my mid 40s, I started drinking a lot ... up to 3-5 drinks every evening, most evenings. So that's an average of maybe 28 drinks per week.

I cut back when I realized how much more I was drinking than the average American... I think this was the article I read and the graph I saw. I'm curious if it still holds true?  It put me between the 9th and 10th decile for alcohol consumption.

I tried to cut back one time, but then gained weight! I tried again, and used The Alcohol Experiment (This Naked Mind/ Annie Grace) and just stopped drinking over the course of two months. That was probably about 8 years ago now. I never made a big deal about "I'm sober XYZ days" or anything like that. I just decided I wasn't interested in drinking any longer. It doesn't make sense for me.

Since about 2 years ago, I have occasionally had a glass of wine or champagne - I'd say twice a year. It is very seldom. I do like the taste of some wine.[/quote]
