I have a couple of weeks here and there where I either abstain entirely - or cut it back to ~4-5 beers twice a week.

During the days I'm not having a beer - I sometimes drink non-alcoholic beers but typically mineral water.

Some people advise against non-alcoholic beers if you are trying to give up alcohol entirely though as you never really break the connection (for want of a better expression)... but it suits me.

Good luck with it though - first few days are hard but after that it's much easier

Half-true. Alcohol has been a staple of humanity for a very long time, however wine and beer we're naturally very low in alcohol content compared to their modern day counterparts. Beer in the middle ages would be somewhere between 2-3% alcohol and wine under 10%. Likewise, distilled alcohol is a very recent development from a human history stand point and contains way more alcohol than any of our ancestors would ever be drinking in one sitting. Also alcohol has been with humans for thousands of years in a strictly social and communal setting, again it's only recently (last 300 years or so) that humanity has had the capability to just have personal bottles of highly alcoholic spirits just sitting at home, available to drink by yourself whenever you want.
Tldr; yes, humanity has used alcohol for thousands of years but we use it vastly different than our ancestors

[Anonymous No.18789831]

I got bad news from the doctor so I am also trying to quit. It's hard though. What I've been doing is drinking cola and strong coffee. Also eating lots of candy, chocolate, nice cheeses, etc. It's never as good as good though. I'm starting to think it might be better to avoid unhealthy foods and drinks altogether. That way the lifestyle change generally will complement stopping alcohol. Otherwise the mindset is the same - you're abusing your body as a kind of reward at the end of the day.
Also I've been in this spot before and the main challenge is not stopping alcohol but trying to stop the invasive thought that comes about a week in: when will I drink next? After a week what happens to me is I think, OK, I've come quite far, I've had a significant break, and now I can have a drink with my head held high. I can have a drink once a week or so and that'll be sustainable and healthy. But what always happens is I end up drinking once a week, then twice the next week, and before I know it I'm back to where I started. A week is certainly not enough. Be to be really vigilant about that kind of thinking. A week really isn't enough. Nor is two weeks or even a month. You have to really get out of the habit of even thinking of getting drunk as an option

They would drink beer as food. Winter months had no harvest but beer could preserve calories from the previous harvest's grain and was more shelf-stable than bread. 2-3% ABV does nothing to kill bacteria. And it was more like 0.5%-2%. The reason it was shelf stable is because all pathogenic bacteria are wiped out during the fermentation process, you can make beer with diarrhea-laden water and it wouldn't give you food poisoning.

>stimulate your gratification receptors
Alcohol addiction is more insidious. There is the dopamine receptor burnout you're talking about, but there's also the GABA burnout. The brain cannot downregulate its functions because it stopped producing GABA, since alcohol stimulates the receptors. This is why cold-turkey in heavy alcoholics causes shit like hallucinations, heart symptoms or seizures. If you don't get DTs you still suffer the consequences like emotional instability, anxiety, heart palpitations, etc. Alcohol dependence is much worse than just burning out your coom receptors.

I wish I could quit the liquid jew. I drink a few beers a month but if I go a day or two without milk I start craving a big glass real bad.

You are a degenerate and a weakling. I can't imagine ever allowing myself to get drunk once.
I have a family history of alcoholism so I don't consume alcohol at home except in rare occasion. When I do, it's not from a larger container, so there's a clear stopping point.

Honestly if you keep it to social settings you'll be fine. It's when the party is over and you're still just swigging out of the bottle that you may have a problem

For me it's buying a small 200-350ml bottle whiskey. Even if I drink all this I won't be too fucked up. Helps that the off license is a good drive away and I'm not so insatiable that I would attempt it

This is me.

I can actually control myself when I'm out with friends but will head to various liquor stores on different days after work. There's something comfy about just drinking and watching YouTube/twitch.

Yes I'm aware that I'm a degenerate but a very secret one.

its a neverending cycle of drinking, maybe some DUDE, munchies, waking up hungover (withdrawal), shitting, and then drinking again to stave off the hangover.

After you finish the "max amount" you think
>OK one more swig
>OK one more
>OK last swig
>Ah there's so little left in the bottle I might as well finish it
Rising blood alcohol level is the strongest association between alcohol and euphoria. So you feel best when you keep drinking. When you drink your last drink, you feel OK for a while and then it's downhill from there.
So alcoholics just keep drinking until they finish everything or feel too drunk to continue. Or just keep going until they pass out.

You have to be a 26 per day drinker for a decade to have lethal effects from quitting cold turkey. Like, borderline homeless, shaking hands if you don't drink alcoholic. Most young people are fine to quit cold turkey. Stop being a dramatic queer

I'm certainly not as bad as some people but I suppose it's not great that I always want to be at least a little buzzed to enjoy anything. I've just always found it hard to sit down and unwind without thinking of life's bullshit, and alcohol seemed to solve that at least

it's been less than two weeks, you're craving alcohol anon. you should find something else to get your hit of neurotransmitters. for me it's shrooms that do the trick, but others swear to kratom as it hits the opoid receptors in the brain. I'd be careful with that though, since it can give you withdrawals too. there is also ketamine treatments. so you shouldn't get anything from sleven.

[Anonymous No.18802470]

>>18799847
Haha. Spoken like a true retard. I was a 3/4 handle bottles of whiskey per week for the past 4 years. I'd get shakes daily near the end of the work day. I quit about 2 months ago, still shake and occasionally can't keep any food or liquids down. Then, there is the insomnia. I haven't slept more than 4 hours per night for the past month.

>>18788149

It definitely seems to differ from person to person. Some people need to be in a near-constant state of drunkness for a long time to get withdrawal; for others they just have to get drunk quite often.

He said fatal effects. You didn't describe dying. So you didn't contradict him at all and just made yourself look stupidly combative.
He's right. If you're now downing a 26 per day, you can go cold turkey and not die. You might still get shakes, insomnia and other things you describe. But those aren't fatal effects and worth going cold turkey over "tapering".

Drink alcohol once/week, stay sober during Lent and during Advent. That's basically sobriety 322 days out of the year.

Insomnia can definitely be fatal. To a lesser extent so can nausea when you can't get the nutrients your body needs to function.
