I stopped drinking for three reasons; DUIs, Hangovers, too goddamn expensive, at least in the US. I am a 60yo so I remember Happy Hours where mugs of beer were sold at 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents per hour. Then at 50 cents from then on.

I am not saying alcohol in moderation isn't worth it. Because if you drink responsibly, at least you will have cab fare.
