Alcoholism is very very serious. It might not seem like it would be that bad, but it is. Addictions can ruin relationships. Also, in severe cases, your body becomes dependent on the alcohol, and you could die from not drinking it. It this case it would be important to be hospitalized while quitting.

There are many reasons... health... financal reasons... but it's a decision you need to make yourself. Maybe by writing a Pro's and Con's list and comparing both sides

Drinking is one of the main problems that occur in our society. Alcohol is considered to be the most dangerous drug if we consider all the problems it cause. It damages you in every aspect. It ruins your finance and destroys your social life. Also we should consider that alcohol is addictive because it's considered by others as a "quick problem solver". But the thing is, alcohol doesn't fix your problems, it just helps you forget them which is worst. That's because, while the time you are "gone" your problems start growing larger and drinking starts becoming the best alternative at the moments of desperation.

There are lots of reasons why you might want to stop drinking alcohol. Some people need to stop drinking as a result of developing an alcohol related medical condition such as liver disease, or because they start taking medication which reacts badly with alcohol. Others choose to do so for religious reasons, or simply as a move towards a healthier lifestyle If you want to stop drinking alcohol as part of a move towards a healthier lifestyle, cutting down on the amount of alcohol you drink as opposed to giving up alcohol completely can help bring lots of health benefits, and can be easier to stick to. Reducing the amount you drink can also be an effective stepping stone to giving up alcohol completely in the future.

If you stop drinking completely one of the first things you notice should be improved energy levels. Regular drinking can affect the quality of your sleep making you feel tired and sluggish. This is because drinking disrupts your sleep cycle. When you drink alcohol before bed you may fall into deep sleep quicker. This is why some people find drinking alcohol helps them drop-off to sleep. But as the night goes on you spend less time in this deep sleep and more time than usual in the less restful, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep. This can leave you feeling tired the next day no matter how long you stay in bed.

Drinking may be seen as a solution. I wasn't good so i said to myself "drinking will make you forget your problems and make you feel less" so i started drinking. I had a bottle of gin. I was drinking before going out after going out, after an argument,before my dates. And i thought that this could make me feel happy. But it didn't. It was just disaster. It made me have stomachache and headache etc. So i thought that drinking is so stupid. It is just like pressing the pain more inside you. Pushing and pushing more. You are having more problems and that sucks. So i think we should try to solve our problems and not forget them.

If you don't have a reason to stop drinking, then just stick with moderation. Drinking isn't inherently bad...or good; it's an activity, and everyone has their own relationship with it. Just take care of your body and mind, try to live in a way that you find healthy and rewarding. If alcohol has a part in that lifestyle then fine, if it doesn't then let it go. If you notice a pattern of drunk behavior that you find unacceptable, then lay off the alcohol until you figure out what's going on with you. Also, try not to drink when in a depressive state, as that tends to bring out the worst in people.

Drinking alcohol can be a fun experience. However for some people it can become an addiction. Personally I know I have an addictive personality so drinking is not a good idea. In addition if your vulnerable to mental health issues it can make them alot worse. I'm not sure id want to stop altogether but it has made my life a lot more enjoyable not drinking all the time. How many hours have we wasted being hungover. How many stupid mistakes have we made drunk. In the end I was just tired of waking up and wondering what the hell have I done last night.

Its a very good question, because drinking is and has been at the centre of great moments of culture and history for milenia. Celebrations usually include great amounts of dancing and food and some type of alcohol. But the best questions we can answer for ourselves is what is controlling me? Why am I doing this? Does this bring me closer to life and what I want. So I had a season of life where I was working shift work, and playing a lot of RPG computer games. Both of which kept me from doing what I wanted - which at the time was social work, playing in hardcore bands and having bbqs. But to sleep I would drink a lot. And at BBQs I would drink. But both ended in bad sleep and not as intimate social interactions, so I decided that I would prefer to sleep and interact without it. After a season of not drinking I now can't get enough of hand crafted beers. I love different flavours and different branding. So what is drinking for you? Are you getting what you want? Is it controlling you? Because drinking can bring good things. Great pairings with food. Great tastes. Great many things. But it can also end with us waking up in different beds and clothes than what we had planned. So why should you stop drinking? - if it stops you getting what you want. How is a different question.

Does your drinking habits get in the way of a healthy and productive life? If so, then you should probably consider drinking less or stop altogether. If you enjoy drinking with friends, and drink responsibly, then you can find a sweet spot where moderation is key. However, If you find yourself drinking everyday as a way to escape your reality, then that means you have developed an addiction. In which case you most definitely stop drinking, and you should probably seek professional help. It will be tough the first couple of months, however, with enough support and dedication you can pull yourself out of this. If this issue goes unresolved, it could end up costing you your employment, friends and maybe even your own family.
