Disagreed, I quit drinking when I was 18 and it was a super power. Not only I had now Saturday/Sunday morning where I was fresh, but when I did go out with my drinking friends and clubbing it felt like I had a super-brain (think the movie Limitless). The only problem is that, at least initially, it was harder talking to girls in the club, but I decided I'd overcome that myself over going back to drinking (and I did).
But to be fair I only drank once, maybe twice a week with friends (though not little), so I don't consider either me or my friends were` alcoholic. Also I had a new group of friends who didn't drink, so we instead did urban exploration. I did go back to drinking socially back in college when I was 20-something.
Now that I'm over 30, I miss more the non-drunk days than those I was drinking, though had great experiences in both.
- dwild 5y agoI believe your misunderstood OP point... > Also I had a new group of friends who didn't drink You had an alternative... you had something better. Stopping alcohol won't give you an alternative to alcohol, it will merely allow for a better alternative to happens. OP is warning people that it's not a given. Either change your expectation, or make sure that you are ready to do the efforts to find a better alternative.
