I quit alcohol completely maybe a year ago and it has been nice but I didn't get any sort of dramatic power-up that some people claim. I suspect a lot of the people who quit alcohol and talk about it loudly are those who had a pretty harmful relationship with it to start with. That's not everyone though.

I know a guy who quit alcohol and was amazed by his weight loss, I asked how much he was drinking and he said "normal amount, 5 or 6 a night"

Thats a lot! For most people quitting alcohol is not going to give that level of boost, even close to it.
