I started doing 1 or 2 drinks pretty much every evening during the pandemic, and more during the weekend, and much more when going out. I didn’t really see any issue at all, but very gradually I became sadder, slower, less motivated.
Of course I didn’t notice that until I’d stopped for a few weeks. Now I can’t think of a single reason to drink. At this point in my life, it takes more than it gives.
I feel like it’s probably always been that case, but I doubt I would have thought so as a young man.

Glad to hear you’re feeling better now. That’s one habit that can gradually sneak up on you over time.
