firstly, stop drinking sweetened drinks. drink only pure alcohol. secondly, drink good alcohol. like extra old rum(generic term for well aged rums) or 12y+ scotch. thirdly, drink high ABV, non-chill filtered or as natural alcohol as you can get. you will not be able to drink more than one, maybe two, glasses of a juice like that. it will fill up your desires. you'll have enough with one glass. fourth, don't drink soc…
Personally all the stuff about how it feels is useful but ultimately never stopped me. What stopped me was the awareness of how it effects EVERYTHING and most importantly my role as a father and husband. Once I worked it out (aka a terrible hangover and not having dealt well with kids, wife and taking some time out just before xmas) I realized it was the way. Once you remove the excuse of alcohol then you can see the other problems more clearly.
I've cut back by switching to non-alcohol beer. I've found that I enjoy the taste of beer, but I don't enjoy how shitty alcohol makes me feel. NA beer tends to solve that for me. Lots of good options coming out. * Just the Hazy by Sam Adams is top tier. * Athletic brewing is solely NA beer - lots of different varieties. * Heineken 0.0 is great * O'Douls amber is surprisingly passable as well I suspect the options wil…
Its a bit absurd that heineken sells their 0.0 beer for just as much as their regular beer. Also, you seem to have quite the selection of na beers near you :)
I've found it easy to stop a great deal of such behaviors by examining not what they promise to deliver, but what they actually brought. I.e. don't look forward, look backward when making decisions. Alcohol promises a great time. Alcohol delivers a hangover and regrets. Junk food promises a great time. Junk food delivers poor health and regrets. Going to the gym promises hardship and struggle. It delivers health. I'v…
What worked for me was Allen Carr's book Easy Way to Control Alcohol https://amzn.eu/d/89NkrKR I tried several times to stop drinking previously, the longest I managed was for about 3 months. I think the hardest part is really deciding that you want to stop drinking. Once I did that, I read the book and it was easy. I haven't had a drink in about 6 years since. What I like about this book is it doesn't make it into s…

Good advice, because that's what I did recently, for alcohol at least. I'm not sure if it is a result of getting older, change in diet and it doesn't really matter. I like a good wine, beer, whiskey or rum, but in the last six months I started notice that I don't sleep very well after drinking. I can have one or two beer or one glass of wine, but not much more. After that it starts to interfer with my sleep, costing…

I mostly enjoy IPA non-alcoholics, or a Weizen. But for regular NA pilsener I would recommend Grolsch, it's a bit more hoppy then Heineken.
Beyond that though means feeling like shit the next day and not being able to give the kids the attention they deserve.
