At this point in my life, I drink more beer than I ought, but that's going to taper soon due to life situation changes (i.e. I live across the street from a liquor store now and will live more than six miles away in a stricter state within the month). I swore off hard liquor late last year and will only entertain the occasional hard cocktail now (e.g. hot toddies around the holidays, etc.).

Red wine started making me instantly sick, within minutes, around the time I turned twenty-six, so that's right out. I prefer white wine anyhow, but am not wild about.

My reasons for wanting to quit are that it's a waste of money and time. I like the buzz it gives me, but I've gotten the point where I don't have any specific new giddiness with my drinking. I have less drive to drink to excess, less of a threshold for "excess" and enjoy being with the same people I spent my drinking years with whether I'm sloshed or not.
