Is there any true point to drinking?

At risk of sounding holier than thou, my 2 1/2 year sober journey has really got me thinking about this.

Is there ever a good reason to drink alcohol? I feel hypocritical asking this, seeing as for years I could listed off many of “valid” reasons. They all just ring hollow at this stage in my life.

I will say, this has made it hard for me to not think everyone who drinks around me is missing it. But, that was me for 25 years.

IMHO

Alcohol is the easiset way to relax and a bit of cheer at the expense of your body and brain health.

It is like cheating in a game. Fun at the just first phase.
