I quit when I had kids. I'll have a beer here or there, but I don't "go to the bar".

I still miss getting shitfaced with co-workers, but I managed to accomplish everything I could while drinking during the last 20 years.

It guess it was fun, but I realize now I didn't need to go out every (or every other) day, and not for 8 hours at a time.

I quit the day my wife said she was pregnant. My dad gave up smoking and took up alcohol and after an incident one night which made him stop drinking. I took that as an experience I don't want my kids to experience.

I'll have a beer sometimes if out at dinner, but never more than 1 or 2. Majority of the time I don't even have that. This year I've had 2 beers total and that's it. Don't miss it at all.

I quit after I had kids and fucked up a couple of times getting inappropriately drunk and not being functional the next day. I didn't drink often but when I did it was a problem. I can now have a tipple when I'm away from the family. As long as I really restrict it to 1 or 2 drinks.
