I gave it up in my 40s a couple years ago. I can’t say I miss it. I certainly don’t miss the hangovers and the feeling that I was killing myself. I plan to never have a hangover again and that probably means never drinking again.

I thought I would miss the social aspect, but I don’t. I’ve gone out with some friends and the places had mock tails or NA beer so it was just normal hanging out. Of course not being drunk I called it a night after an hour or so, but that’s probably sane and healthy.

The recent meta studies of the health effects of alcohol indicate that the health number of drinks per day is zero. Maybe you can have one or two a WEEK without negative health effects. Anyone who drinks more than that is needlessly lowering their lifespan and increasing risk of heart attack and cancer.
