I’ve taken the year off from drinking. I was drinking too much, too often, and having a hard time stopping when I started. Too reliant on alcohol to manage stress.

So, at the end of the year, I’ll reassess: do I still want to drink? If so, can I do it without going overboard, or has that ship sailed?

We’ll see.

@HeavenlyPossum one year when I decided to swear off alcohol for 3 months after feeling like shit one New Years to see how I feel afterward, that was the start of me restricting the amount and frequency I drink afterward. I did lose a lot of my built-up tolerance over time.

@thomasjwebb

I would be content to lose my tolerance, and go back to the days of getting pleasantly buzzed off a drink or two.

@HeavenlyPossum yeah it's pretty awesome. I've been limiting myself to 1 12oz beer max a week and I switched it to every other week end of last year. The only downside is I can't really handle some high-alcohol beers I like, like Abyss unless it's just a tiny amount. I do sometimes get a 4oz taster of local imperial stout straight from the brewery.
