I gave up drinking a while back and have been shocked at how much better life is without alcohol.

It took a while to get to the point at which I forgot all about it, but being sober all the time and not hungover EVAH is downright wonderful.

Note of Warning to All Who Plan to Quit Drinking:

TV and movies are not as good as you thought they were when you were drinking. In fact, they are downright awful. The only TV and movies I find worth watching are British mysteries.;-)

I quit all alcohol on 1/9/11, and life is much better without it.

If you broaden you horizons, you can include Australian mysteries

The best I found are: Foyle’s War - nine seasons (available on Amazon prime).
Michael Kitchen stars as Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle in this original PBS Masterpiece Theatre mystery series. Set in the beautiful southern English countryside amid the disorder and danger of World War II, Foyle’s War takes place far from the glory of the front.

I quit drinking because I found out I was allergic to alcohol.
Everytime I got drunk I would break out in handcuffs.

I’ll take up the slack - time for a breakfast bourbon.
