it's been 2 years for me not intentionally but it just sort of happened. I personally have a high tolerance no matter how long of an abstinence stretch but I was never a person who drank our of peer pressure anyway. I did have a yearly baileys ritual where I would get a big bottle each Yule/x-mas and it was mine mine mine. Bur since I went vegan 10years ago that no longer was an option and I am not much of a beer or wine person ... it just sort of fiddled out ... at least for now ...

Thanks for adding your story into this! I like that you also just haven’t been drinking...not because you are intentionally saying ‘no’, but just because you don’t want to...I’m a person who has a hard time staying away from anything I tell myself I can’t have...so it’s nice to be able to find that balance. Thanks again for reading and responding.
I don't regularly consume alcohol. Once in a way I'd have a beer or a glass of wine. Just like you, I was surprised to see I did not miss it. Then I realized it was more of a social habit. When I got sick, I gave up smoking and drinking within the same day.
After getting a heart attack, alcohol is definitely a no-no! Luckily there is nonalcoholic beer. ;0)
Oh wow, so interesting to hear your perspective and story @lymepoet! I definitely share the experience of being surprised at realizing I don’t miss it the way I thought I would...and ginger beer really does the trick for me, it’s delicious, haha.
