    I have a drink after work most days and have done so for years. It helps me unwind and gets my stress level down to where I can actually relax in the hour or two of free time I have before bed, but I wouldn’t say I’m addicted. If I have places to be or things to do or just don’t drink one or more days it’s not like I’m craving it.

      This is me. Maybe 3 days a week, I’ll enjoy a drink (sometimes two if I’m pouring, say, a lighter gin & tonic) before bed. I can stop drinking at any time. And I regularly do, during one of my diet cycles or after getting back from vacation when I wanna take a break from alcohol.
