How much were you drinking before? I’ll have a bourbon or two once or twice a week and I don’t really notice any lasting effects from it.
Thankfully for me, I've never been a heavy drinker, maybe having 1 or 2 beers in a period of a week or two, at most. I don't really hang out with heavy drinkers, so it surprised me when friends would mention they were drinking several alcoholic beverages a night regularly. I suppose it changed how I viewed discussions of people getting off alcohol. They've got a bigger hurdle to get over to stop drinking that much and would definitely see a big change on their health and their budget. If I stopped having it at all, I probably would not notice a difference.
To me it's a problem if you can't stop when you want to or feel cravings when you do. Like I said I'll have a bourbon or two occasionally but I also go weeks sometimes without drinking at all. Sometimes, around the holidays especially or when a group of friends gets together I'll drink more. This seems pretty normal to me.
