Thanks for sharing, its hard to admit when we have a problem out loud.
I too loved to drink and looked forward to Friday nights to let my hair down.
I dont know if it was age related or my liver, but my body simply wouldnt tolerate alcohol anymore. I found I could only tolerate one drink during the day buf if I had one or more in the evening it would keep me awake, I would get indigestion and the sweats during the night! So it took awhile for the penny to drop but I realised that it was much simpler just to say no to prevent the unpleasant side effects.
Socially my decision didnt go unnoticed though!
That was over 4 years ago and initially I missed the fun times/ lack of inhibition but now I am grateful and I am sure my body appreciates it.
Thanks again for having the courage to share.
