  It makes sense why an alcoholic would want to give up alcohol for good. It can destroy their life in any number of ways, but what about the rest of us who drink socially or enjoy a glass of wine before bed? Although there are definitely some positives to drinking alcohol, there are plenty of negatives too, even if you aren?t an alcoholic. That?s why many people choose to give up alcohol for good. Why would you want to give up alcohol? Here are some convincing reasons why you might want to think about leaving that wine glass on the table.

It Will Keep You out of Trouble

It isn?t uncommon for alcoholics to have run-ins with the law. Many have spent their fair share of time in jail for public intoxication and multiple DUI offenses. However, the fact is, you don?t have to be an alcoholic to find yourself in trouble. Even those without a drinking problem could find themselves with a first offense DUI by getting behind the wheel of a car. It can come with jail time, fines, and the loss of your license. It?s not just operating a car that can get you in trouble. You could find yourself in trouble riding a bicycle or simply standing outside the bar. Not partaking in alcoholic beverages is the best way to ensure you stay out of trouble.

You Will Save Money

There is no end to the advice out there on how to save money. Kicking your morning Starbucks habit is one way to save some serious cash, but eliminating alcohol from your diet can save you a lot of money too. Alcoholic beverages are often the most expensive drink choice on the menu. Not to mention, when you go out, you?re likely to buy more than one drink. If you?re having a great time, you may find yourself buying drinks for others too. Before you know it, you?ve spent $50, $100, or more on alcohol. Buying pop at the restaurant is a more affordable option, but it?s also more affordable at the grocery store. Alcohol is expensive, no matter where you get it! You can save money by eliminating it from your budget altogether.

You Can Build Better Friendships

Love to go out and drink with your friends? You may have a great time while you?re out, but are they the kind of friends you can count on when you?re not at the bar? There is a big difference between drinking buddies and true friends. Only true friends will support you through a difficult time, and they?re willing to do fun things that don?t involve alcohol. If you focus too much on spending time with your drinking buddies, your true friends may fall by the wayside. Cut alcohol out of your life and you?ll discover who your true friends are. Plus, because you aren?t drinking, you?ll have the time to foster strong relationships with those people.

You Will Probably Lose Weight

Carrying around extra weight that you just can?t seem to get rid of, no matter how much you watch what you eat or hit the gym? Alcohol could be the problem. Alcoholic beverages are loaded with calories, especially if they are mixed with other drinks. Even a single drink can set you back hundreds of calories. You could have an entire meal?s worth calories by going out and having a few drinks. That?s why, one of the best ways to lose weight is to cut alcohol from your diet.

It Will Make You Healthier

That?s not all. Not only will not drinking alcohol help in tangible ways, like having more money in your pocketbook and dropping pounds, it can also help you in less tangible ways by boosting your health. There are many health benefits to eliminating alcohol from your life that include:

  • You can reduce the risk of heart disease and having a heart attack.
  • Cutting out alcohol can prevent hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver syndrome.
  • It allows you to get a truly restful night of sleep.
  • It can make you look younger by clearing up redness and improving elasticity in your skin.

Whether you want to give up alcohol as a trial run or you?re ready to give it up for good, there are some convincing reasons to put down the bottle. Once you?re aware of the benefits on this list, saying no the next time you find yourself in a bar or a restaurant will be a lot easier.
