There are so many grey areas with drinking, you don’t have to be diagnosed as someone with alcohol use disorder to question your relationship with alcohol. Alcohol also doesn’t discriminate, it is a highly addictive substance so even if you start with the best intentions it can sink its claws into even the most professional people. This is important to bring to your attention because there used to be so many stigmas or Stereotypes around people giving up alcohol or going sober. More and more people are realizing the harmful effects of alcohol on your physical, mental, and emotional health.
