I had a bad experience drinking and decided to stop drinking for awhile. It went well and I decided to stop drinking completely forever. It’s been several years now. Your article covers most of the experience but you didn’t mention one pro and one con:

Pro: you can always drive. No matter what you’re doing, you can at any point hop in your car and go home.

Con: People will be offended and beg you you to drink with them. Super annoying. Got used to it after a few years.

Water is important. Eat a lot of cucumbers at least…
