I haven’t drank in a while and it doesn’t bother me

As an alcoholic myself, you'll know when you are. Believe me. But when you find yourself drinking a lot, it's good to take a break from drinking before you get to that point. I always said I'm not really an alcoholic when I would drink heavily, until one day, I found myself craving it, getting shaky and unable to sleep when I wouldn't drink and before I knew it, I was getting a liver resection before I even reached 30. Despite that, I still relapsed and am struggling with alcoholism all over again. It's too late for me as far as the addiction aspect goes, but hopefully it doesn't ever become so for you.

Yeah, I'm good at stopping for awhile but not good at limiting my intake. I rarely just have one because if I don't get a slight buzz what's the point? Lol. It's good that you're paying attention to your tendencies though. Self awareness is key.

Hm I think they are many types of alcohol abuse like binge drinking which is common w ppl in your age group. So you can go without it but when you are drinking you find it hard to limit yourself

I’m an alcoholic, and I’ve gone for several months without drinking...and then find myself getting drunk on several consecutive days (sometimes a week or more). You may or may not be an alcoholic....but if the tendencies come back after a while, you might be.

It’s best to go without. I just learned this year from a public awareness campaign that one in seven cancers is caused by alcohol consumption.
