I have enjoyed drinking a various points in my life (not constantly), mostly a few units of whiskey or wine per week, nothing troubling really, but this did increase during the lockdowns.
Since then I have never become very drunk or had issues, but have noticed that I consume less as time goes by.
What is slightly odd though is that recently I have completely gone off it. It suddenly felt as if it was a huge waste of time, money and energy, and the 'good' feeling it brought never really lasted past 2 glasses.
I also began to dislike the taste and had previously loved it!
This is probably a good thing as I am sure many of us should drink less and be happier for it, but I wasn't planning or expecting it. I hear of many people who stopped drinking because of tolerance issues or bad hangovers, but I don't see many people who just get fed up of it and go off it naturally.
The feeling I get from even one drink is just like a slump, or a 'meh' now, whereas it used to be quite a nice little buzz. It all feels heavy and depressing. I am going through some big life changes (moving away, new business, leaving ex) and wonder if i have just had a psychological shift.
Anyone else just naturally lost a taste for the stuff as well as the feeling it gives? I would be interested to know since most of the stuff I have read tends to be on the side of having to cut down, rather than just going off it.
