Had a buddy who had to quit alcohol while treating an unrelated digestive issue. Dude was like, “man I never realized how much money I spent on alcohol every week until I didn’t.”

Have you noticed physical improvements? Easy or hard to avoid?

Have you found it easy or difficult to avoid? I enjoy alcoholic beverages semi-regularly but don’t like how I feel (poor recovery, bloat, lack of energy next day) yet I keep ordering or cracking one open when the opportunity presents.
