I quit for a year with no issues. The first party i told everyone I quit drinking, they didnt bother me after that.

I gave it up at age 29. “It’s just not my thing” works wonders.

I grew up with a alcoholic parent, and at a very young age I remember promising myself I would never drink alcohol. And I never have. I have no judgement on those who do—I just know its not for me.

I quit drinking about a year ago and have found that my desire to be around more than a few people at a time in a social setting went out the door with the booze. If I find myself in any kind of party setting, I just smoke a bunch of weed and make friends with the dog. Drunk people are the worst.
