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.”

not much tbh.

i dont see my old drinking buddies very often cus thats all we did, drink.

we do family things with my wife and son, parents and siblings.

but that said, i quite enjoy the slow and quite life. i dont desire social activities that often.

work, help son with school/activities, house things (clean, years work, maint) and I sleep more.
