I haven't had an alcoholic drink for about three months, before that I had a very small glass of a single malt whisky once a week. A bottle of the stuff would last me about 3/4 months. When the last one was finished, I realised that I really wasn't that keen on it, and why bother? So I gave it up and haven't missed having it in the slightest. I may still partake of a glass of wine on special occasions like Christmas Day, but not otherwise.
Could other posters give up alcohol?
Yes - if I had to but I'd as lief not have to - a glass of wine with a meal is delicious.
