Leiting Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 For health reasons alone, I would support this. Even moderate drinking over extended periods of time can cause harsh damage to your liver, and greatly increase the risk of heart disease. So if this is something you are serious about, I wish you all the best with your goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'd have to give up your night life if you cut back. Perhaps you may find the environment at a "kegger" to not be as appealing anymore - and going out to your local bar or pub might not have the same draw - but certainly attending parties shouldn't take a huge hit if you pull back or leave it out all together. I for one no longer drink heavily when I go to parties. I usually stick to a nice wine if it's that kind of scene, or I have been known to bring a bottle of single malt scotch, which I only go through a glass or two. If there is an open bar, I've found nursing a martini or two gives a nice degree of social lubrication without the nasty feeling the following morning, but you also stay very much in control, and everyone looks suave walking about with a martini glass.

HammerrTime Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 In all honesty quitting would be a good Idea, the first time you get crushed after a few weeks of sobriety, you will ask yourself why you ever did that in the first place.

NewGuy2000 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I stopped drinking heavily when I was 28 yrs old. I still drink nowadays but only when I'm having a delicious meal or at gatherings - and even then, I limit myself to just one or two at the most. Anymore than 2 and I'll just start feeling tired. But yes, I encourage you to minimize your drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would add is that OP should perhaps consider why he wants to stop. Swearing off something rarely goes well. Perhaps look at moderation, and choosing quality over quantity. If it is getting in the way of life, look at what holes the alcohol is filling (as hard as that can be) and make an effort to address what is discovered. People occasionally rib me for raving about a beer, but i am content with 1 or 2 REALLY tasty beers in an evening, or a couple glasses of a good bubbly or a slow glass of whiskey. Once your perspective on what and why you drink shifts, you can more easily manage some of the contributing and resulting factors of alcohol. Drunk, hammered, hungover feelings are not results of responsible intake, so try to take a broader look at what your ultimate goals are when drinking or out at a party. Also, there is nothing wrong with admitting you are drinking more than you should, and I am glad you see that before it gets out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a person with serious stomach issues that i am still getting worked out., I think that is a good first step. However, please also consider the amount you intake if it is making you ill. The throwing up can actually mess you up more, both with muscular, tissue, and acid damage, so you will need an antacid for now until you figure out if it is a consumption thing or an actual physical intolerance. I am not trying to encourage you to keep drinking, I just want you to get smart about knowing your body and it's quirks.

TheHarbinger Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I spent about four months binge drinking heavily. Like, over the course of those four months there's probably about 5-10 days total I didn't get **** faced. Eventually, after any morning following heavy drinking, I would become violently sick, lasting many hours, throwing up until I was dry heaving, unable to hold anything down, bed ridden etc etc. That's when I decided it was probably time to stop drinking. And I know I'm not an alcoholic because I was able to give it up at the drop of a hat and I haven't had a single drink since. Ever since I stopped though I've been smoking weed habitually... Hmm...
