I always liked the, "Quitting smoking is easy; I've done it thousands of times" quote.

That said, with drinking, I wonder how it'd be for someone to cut out drinking, then get to my level.

Which is, "drink exactly enough to do a taste test, and never enough to get buzzed".

I know it's unusual, but having the hard limit of, "if there's _any_ risk of getting buzzed, no more alcohol" feels possibly easier, if prone to red-linining.

But, realistically, if one is a problem drinker, never drinking any is probably easier to stick with. And it's not like there's any great point to drinking alcoholic drinks, _especially_ how I drink.

But I like collecting things, and collecting alcohol gives me a collection that inherently is temporary.
