when they stopped drinking.

One user commented, “That actually makes complete sense.”

Another shared, “It clicked for me when I attended my first wedding sober and still had an amazing time. It’s about the occasion and the people—not the alcohol!”

A third added, “It’s interesting how many people replace alcohol with non-alcoholic alternatives when they go sober. I’ve always felt that might keep the drinking habit and association alive.”

Meanwhile, a fourth user chimed in, “You’re absolutely right, mate… I’m in my second year now, and it’s been life-changing for the better.”

Others said that although they appreciated the Dr Alex’s words of wisdom, they didn’t see any harm in painting the town red every now and again.

“Everything in moderation,” one said.

A second commented: “I’m a bartender and I understand but we need to learn to view drinks differently. I enjoy having a drink because it tastes nice. I don’t get drunk, it’s about how you view alcohol rather than abusing it.”

A third added: “You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Drink if you want. Eat pizza if you want. Life is too short.”
