Admittitedly, I am ashamed to say that I was a functional alcoholic pre-Covid.
I would have expected the opposite. I thought people were drinking more and starting earlier in the day out of boredom. You might be the exception that proves the rule.
I have 8 days, or should I say 8 nights to go. I was drinking most nights, but only 1 beer or two beers at most. I don’t seem to get addicted to things as easily as others. I’ve quit several vices cold turkey with no problem (alcohol, tobacco, multiple illegal drugs). I’ve occasionally wondered if I could kick heroin as easily. I’m not about to try. I lost multiple friends to heroin OD’s back in the 70’s. But I still wonder.
