Since early May, I have completely stopped drinking. While I understand the benefit of alcohol as social lubricant, I still think the benefit of prohibition would surpass the cost.
The clearest benefit is good health. For the last medical check, I obained straight A, not to mention on the item on liver function.
While I stopped drinking, I started exercise for half an hour every day. This combination has led to the ideal shape. This not only feels good, but also saves time worring about unnecessary fat.
Indeed, prohibition saves a lot of time. I can decide items to order at restaurants immediately because I simply choose a juice from the drink menu.
I am sober all the time, and have the power to manage to find happiness however it might be small without relying on a substance.
