For a bit of background, I don't have any dependencies, but as I get older it juts doesn't seem as worth it. Having socialized with booze my whole adult life, I am finding it difficult to go sober, and post pandemic socializing a lot, therefore drinking more.
I recently saw some statistics out of the UK that are showing younger generations giving up booze at huge rates. I think you can see this in all of the non-alcoholic drinks hitting the market.
Perhaps it's just me, but feels like society is slowly turning it's back on booze, and I want in.
Tips and tricks much appreciated.

I'm 39. I stopped about 10 years ago.
I don't like the taste all that much. I sure don't party anymore. Alcohol costs a lot of money, it gives you a gut, turns you into an idiot and then you can't drive the rest of the night and sometimes have hangovers the next day.
I see nothing positive about it at all. I just wished I stopped drinking earlier.
