At What Age Did You Stop Drinking?

Hi everybody,

At what time did you stop drinking at the New Year's celebration?
My performance was shameful.
I dined with wine, and I stopped drinking soon after I finished my Dec 31st dinner around 10 PM, then I went to bed at 11:00, and finally, I woke up in Jan 1st at 6:30 AM.
The good thing of it was that I didn't have a sleepless night as at this moment.

I made it to midnight. The united cup doubles match with Iga and Muchova (and red wine) was too compelling to fall asleep.

Some folks here in Florida have extra spending money. From my condo window, I looked out over expensive
huge firework displays from several regular private houses in the neighborhood. They were brilliant blasts
as big as a 30 unit condo building, as loud as cannons, and kept going from about 9:00 PM until 12:30 AM.
It made me wonder if they were having prime French Champagne, or saving their last cash by having a beer.

I gave up drinking at age 0.
What an amazing coincidence!! I started drinking at age 0!! Unfortunately, it was some type of white stuff
that was forced upon me by strange large humans who called themselves parents, for some odd reason.
My constant crying soon subsided when I found where these giant humans kept their supply of whiskey.

as far as calories go, I gave up sodas and Alcohol was pretty easy to pass. I'm not against a drink but it's usually at a wedding or to celebrate a family member's good news about a healthy infant. I did have a shot of whiskey on new year's eve though.
I feel that if I want to indulge, I'm much more satisfied w/ desserts! I never get a craving for alcohol, but every now and then I'll get one for a root beer float or a donut...

So what was your last drink, immediately before giving up alcohol at 0 y.o.? This normally implies having suffered an intoxication of royal proportions.
I hope that in spite your extremely young age, you could have kept some memories, in order to share your experience with us.

Government just announced first possible addition since 1980s to the alcohol warning those beverages carry. Increased risk of at least 7 kinds of cancer, even with small amounts of alcohol, may be added to the labels.

Interesting. Alcohol (in pure state) is an antiseptic so if I were to contract cancer, I would increase both the quantity and ABV of alcohol I consume.

Cancer is not a microorganism that gets killed by anti-septics. Also you are not drinking pure alcohol which will kill you if ingested even in small quantities.

I bothered to read the whole article. The tests say there is increased risk in people who drink even in small quantities.
The incidence is marginally higher, which I wonder if it can be within the error margin of the tests.
The readers' comments are interesting.
Some say that it may be more harmful how the food we eat is grown or processed in that respect, with which I tend to concur.

I gave up drinking before my last drink which was D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme.

Tonight you may be considering starting a "Pre-Cancer-Preventitve-Program" with your favorite strong drinks.
Check your schedule, and postpone your treatment if you have a big match tomorrow!!

Now I realize that this thread is only for people who quit alcohol.
It's not clear enough to me if the users who already posted here are currently teetotalers.

I think there is a misunderstanding here of what "drinking" means.

If you're an alcoholic, to say "I quit drinking" means "I stopped drinking any alcohol". This is because they have an addiction, and it is hurting their life, and even one drink can be a slippery slope for them.

But if you're a normal drinker, "I quit drinking" means "no longer getting regularly sloshed or blacked out like I did in college but I still enjoy a maximum of three beers on weeknights and five on weekends and holidays". It doesn't mean teetotalism.

Teetotalism is a rash, extreme decision, and really only suitable for legit alcoholics and winos. Check out your local soup kitchen or bus shelter for examples.

Indeed. I hope you take it to heart as you re-evaluate your alcohol consumption.
I will take over that assignment after I finish with the assessment of my asbestos consumption.
There are heated arguments going on about the containers you sent down here.

Non-alcoholic drinks are taking off but they cost the same and yet have no alcohol. Are we just paying for puns?

This is totally amazing, but through scientific examination of writing patterns associated with probable slurred speech,
I have definitely discovered that you are a direct descendant of my ancient ancestor "Nate-the-Knuckle-Dragger."
Please post a photo of yourself immediately, so we can marvel at your hairy knuckles!!
