I've done a dry first quarter (Jan-March) the last 3 years.
Every time I do it, I feel amazing, lose 15-20 pounds, kick ass in my job(financially) and contemplate if I'm getting to the point where that's just to be my new norm (optimal norm at that).
I don't drink that much and don't have any drinking issues in the general sense, but like the OP I often question if I really need it.
I can honestly see a day in the next few years where I call it off on a more permanent basis.
I recommend looking into some books on the topic.
Out society has us wired to think drinking is normal (and cool) and quitting is the actual abnormality; when reality is drinking is the choice.
If you are thinking of quitting, or reducing, or taking a break; re wiring how you think about drinking is a good place to start.
Allen Carr books are supposed to be really good.
PS; I'm drinking wine right now
