I gave up alcohol years ago after reading a few of these studies. I wasn't drinking often anyways, but does it ever feel good to never feel that morning after headache. I found even one pint in the evening could disrupt my sleep.
Saving on the restaurant, and eliminating the liquor store, bills was gravy.
I poured a 3/4 full bottle of scotch that I'd been gifted down the drain the other day. If there's booze in the house I'll have a drink several nights a week; I now routinely get a headache the next day with "just" two glasses of scotch, so it really isn't worth the damage it's doing to my body. My current plan is to have a beer or two when I'm out, but to completely cut out drinking at home.
Hm, I still have a fancy bottle of scotch I got as a gift, buried somewhere forgotten in the cupboards. That is it though. I brought the rest of my liquor cabinet to the office. The free booze was appreciated by the takers, although I admit I had mixed feelings about giving away what I deemed poison :). It was probably $600-700 worth.
