I tried that. The trial separation turned into divorce. Alcohol and I bump into each other occassionally at parties and have stilted polite conversations, but we are no longer in a relationship. 10/10 Highly recommended.

It's too damned expensive anyway. I'd love a drink, but I like not spending the money on it even more.

ditto. I took a break one day for "just a bit" and never went back. Have a glass extremely occasionally, but don't miss it a jot.
