I gave up drinking in December. I’m so fucking lonely now. The episode is accurate.
Do not fear the solitude that comes with raising your standards.
Why give up all? Can’t control only a few?
When you don’t drink often, drinking just a little might not be worth the downsides. You lose tolerance for alcohol fast, and you realise that getting a buzz doesn’t actually feel that great, and isn’t worth feeling worse the next day which can happen after just a couple of beers.
Yeah, I used to drink 7 or 8 beers every night, but now I only drink at special occasions or if I’m stuck working out of town for more than a couple of days. When I drink now it only takes a couple of beers to get the same level of drunk that 7 got me before, and I can drink four and I’m all wobbly. I don’t get hungover anymore though.
