Not Drinking Is Awful

Here is a harrowing story about what happens if you stop drinking: your friends abandon you, you disappoint your romantic partner and the very moments which once brought such joy become tedious events to be endured rather than celebrated. On the plus side, you lose weight and you think a little more clearly, but does that sound like a trade-off you’d want to make? It does not. This object lesson on just how miserable life is for the sober has made me feel much better about the fact that I cannot reduce my own consumption. And now I’m off to the bar!
