> Obviously I can't say anything about my own longevity, but over the past few years my alcohol consumption has decreased to virtually zero and I've never felt better. I was never a big drinker, but I would semi-regularly go out and drink a few pints of beer or have wine with dinner. I never intended to cut down on alcohol, but my lifestyle changed, I stopped going out so much, and the drinking went with it. I would still drink maybe once a month, but I've realised that it makes me feel bad every time, so I now completely abstain.
Same is happening to me.
And the last time I bought alcohol, I bought a pack of 0% alcohol beer by mistake at the supermarket. I would never do that intentionally, as I consider 0% alcohol beer a ridiculous idea and also never tried it. However, I finished the pack, and the first beer was special. It actually tastes like beer, without alcohol, it's mainly sugar with water.
Won't buy another pack ever again, but it was an interesting experience and opened my eyes about the taste of beers
