Thank you all for your input. It’s helpful to hear other people’s opinions and views.

The reason I wish to abstain or certainly reduce my alcohol intake is due to the fact I feel I could ( should) be doing more with my time.

I can often be lethargic the day after a few beers which can lead me to abandoning my positive habits in the days after, due to the lack of energy.

I’ve always been extremely hard and critical of myself. I’ve been trying to cut myself some slack when mistakes are mad, yet I’m not sure if drinking is a mistake, or is it more a choice. If it is a choice, and not a mistake, do I need to be hard on myself?

Hopefully that’s coherent enough for people to understand. I look forward to your views.

1. Enjoy your day!
