Basically what I\u2019m left with is very little and I will often go multiple weeks (Sometimes months) without have a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So from my prospective I just can\u2019t get my head around how much everyone is actually \u201ccutting out\u201d by not drinking for a whole month. Unless everyone is drinking just about every night and then I can\u2019t help but think if you; when do you get anything done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I\u2019m having a drink I\u2019m going to switch off to everything else and sit back and enjoy it. If I was to do that two or three night a week the household would fall apart and my life would quick turn into just going to work and drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was however thinking that maybe I\u2019m missing out on something so this year I\u2019m going to commit to having a drink at least once per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all I have read that drink wine can have some health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/future\/article\/20191021-is-wine-good-for-you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not that I\u2019m going to be exclusively drinking wine but I think I need to at least get some drinking outside of social events.
