Reasons to stop drinking alcohol today!

Do you ever find yourself asking “why should I stop drinking?” There are so many benefits to going alcohol-free. In this latest blog post we look at some of the top reasons to stop drinking alcohol.

Some of the main benefits to stopping drinking, or cutting down on your drinking, are:

• Saving the money you would have spent on alcohol

• Sleep better and have more energy

• Avoid hangovers

• Better looking skin

• Improved mood and can benefit your mental health

Why you should give up alcohol

Now let’s have a look at and explain each of the different reasons to stop drinking in more depth…

1) You can save money

Have you ever checked how much money you spend on alcohol or on a night out? Now multiply that by however many times you buy alcohol or go out each month and that can start to add up. Think of how much you could save and put towards something else, like a holiday!

2) Sleep better and have more energy

Remember how you can feel the morning after a night of drinking?

Alcohol can disrupt your sleep patterns and stop you sleeping deeply.

By not drinking, you can sleep better and will likely have more energy for the day.

3) No more hangovers!

If you’re not drinking, then that means no more hangovers!

Hangovers can negatively affect emotion regulation and impair executive function — decision-making, planning and mental flexibility.

You can avoid all of these negative effects by not drinking.

4) Avoid any potential alcohol-related guilt

If your friends and family are concerned about your alcohol consumption, there may be guilt.

Or maybe you feel guilty because you’re less present or make decisions you otherwise wouldn’t.

Once alcohol is out — the guilt goes with it.

5) Avoid potential social embarrassment

No drinking = no drunken nights, no cringe moments to apologise for, no regrets.

6) Develop greater sense of self-worth

Once you realise you can give up alcohol, you gain a new level of self-confidence.

You control the drink — not the other way around.

7) You may feel more optimistic about the future

If alcohol was causing stress, anxiety or confusion, stopping clears the fog.

Optimism returns. So does confidence and happiness.

8) You can improve the health of your liver

Alcohol → acetaldehyde → damage.

Giving your liver a break has major benefits, including reduced insulin resistance and reduced risk of fatty liver disease.

9) Better looking skin

Alcohol dehydrates you.

By removing it, you give your skin the moisture and stability it needs for glow and elasticity.

10) Can improve your executive function

Less booze = better memory, planning, focus, and clarity.

Other reasons and benefits our community report:

Your brain repairs, and your thinking becomes sharp, logical and calm.

12) Better relationships

When you’re present, clear-headed and emotionally stable, your relationships thrive.

13) You will be complimented… Lots

People will notice the changes — and comment on them.

14) You will live longer

Alcohol is linked to heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Reducing harm = extending life.

15) You will feel younger than ever

Your natural energy returns.

You feel limitless, but without taking anything — simply by removing alcohol.

16) Better sex life

More energy.

More youthfulness.

More desire.

Better connection.

All the benefits add up.

A healthy body = a happy body.
