Every once in a while I stumble across people discussing their story with alcohol. It could be just baked into my social media algorithms at this point. Regardless, I figured I would share.

Here is a blog post and video from Mark Manson the author of many books but the most notable one is “The Subtle Art of not Giving a F**k”.

Here is a video clip from The Modern Wisdom podcast where the host Chris Williamson and guest Mike Thurston discuss why they quit drinking or took a hiatus.

Here is a video clip from Steve-O’s podcast Wild Ride where guest and actor Josh Duhamel brings up his recent thoughts about quitting alcohol. Steve-O explains to Josh how there are different types of alcoholics and I personally relate to being a “problem drinker”. Not necessarily feeling dependent on alcohol doesn’t mean you do not have a problem.

Here is a video from a youtuber Clark Kegley breaking down his 365 days off alcohol.

Here is a article on how/why someone turned sober October into a much longer duration without alcohol.

Many of these videos are recent, within the last year or even 6 months. Removing or cutting back on alcohol is surely becoming more and more common in general. Millennials and GenZ’s are driving more demand for alternatives to alcoholic beverages. See this Forbes article. I even walked past a sober bar/event space the other day. There seems to be a large chunk of people with a desire to optimize their health and wellness and this commonly includes them removing drinking from their life. I see NoLo referenced from time to time as well these are beverages with no or a low percentage of ABV.

I feel as if for someone to make the decision to cut back or fully remove alcohol today, they should seek some comfort in the rising availability in sobriety content. Opening up with close friends about your feelings towards drinking is a great way to challenge yourself and get a gauge for where people around you may be at with it as well.
