I can relate to this blog post. It's a great summary. I stopped drinking a couple of years ago (no drama involved) and I've found the most positive side-effect has been that I have a legitimate excuse to exit social situations that I am tired of. Want to leave a party early because you're not feeling it? No longer will you be encouraged to have "just one more", it's generally just accepted.
