I stopped because: 1) I don't miss it or crave it. There are great alternatives, especially craft non-alcoholic beer (in the US). I have found that not-from-concentrate pomegranate juice is a good wine alternative too, because it has a similar mouthfeel and you have to sip it. 2) It shortens my life (makes my health worse, forces me to sleep longer, etc.) 3) I can have fun socializing without it. I don't have any social anxiety or any other issues that alcohol helps with.
