I’m not gonna lie, being around drunks while sober is obnoxious. Also Trump took my job so it’s not like I got the money to spare to buy virgin drinks.
One nice thing I’ve found with quitting is that it’s a lot cheaper… Club soda with a lime wedge is about the cheapest thing (other than tap water) you can get at a bar/restaurant, and a lot of places give refills for free. At first I didn’t love the taste, but beer was an acquired taste too! And if I do get non-alcoholic beer or cocktails, I tend to not want as many, so I naturally save money there too (on top of them usually being a buck or two cheaper.)
