Five years.
I'm sure I could do without it for the rest of my life, but Neptune squatting on my Sun isn't helpful at the moment.

9 months when I was pregnant followed by over a year while I was breastfeeding.

Yes, I could give it up now if I wanted to... but I don't have a valid reason. I enjoy it like I enjoy cheese.

Um a long time lol. I haven't counted the exact number of days. I don't drink that often but I am not against having a drink every now and then. Just not often at all. Maybe once in a blue moon?

And could I give it up? If I had to I would do it without dying or anything. I am not going to though. I will still have one every now and then.

My record is somewhere between 6 and 10 months, I don't remember exactly. Now it would be like 2 months and who knows for how long it'll continue. I think I'm becoming more and more indifferent. Once in a while I have some wine with a meal, I like it but I could do without it and any other alcohol. For some reason I feel like taking a no drinking challenge, 1 year-long at least. The most challenging part would be making people F off

Kind of a long story.

I had decided to stop, but I let a friend talk me into it anyway one night. I got so drunk I almost drove my AMC into the canal, and I didn't even remember it.

My kids were in the car.

Haven't touched it since.

Nah, I don't even want it.

That's the secret to quitting, you train your mind to go yech every time you think of something.

For me, I made a promise to the Goddess that I would never touch another drop.

Some promises you just don't break.

Nope . No seriously, I don't even know what any alcoholic drink tastes like. Partly because of religious reasons and partly because most alcoholic drinks just smell absolutely horrible.

Its funny because my S/O likes her wine .

And taste horrible so you're not missing much I don't even like all the kinds of wine. Semi-sweet is ok and I stick to it.

2 years. I was deep down in the sh1t and had to dig myself up. On a GOOD day I had 3-4 martinis followed by 1-1 1/2 bottles of wine..Hardest thing I ever did was to rehab myself into manage to control it to occasional drinking instead of the entire bar. Now I can drink and I cannot drink but usually settle for a glass of wine here and there.

I barely ever drink at all. Alcohol does not relax me. Other drugs can be relaxing but I don't take anything that is illegal in my area.
I like some alcohol - I love mojitos, vodka shots mixed with something spicy like chilli, white wine... I absolutely hate beer..
Anyway I don't 'feel like' alcohol. The most I could go without it would be a year because I'd still drink on NYE.
I'm not sure if I've ever gone a year though .. because there are always casual or formal situations that come up at work & uni, and I end up having like one drink, or pretending I'm having it lol

But I often accidentally seem drunk although sober - Mars/Neptune...

& I could technically go without it my whole life, however - I wouldn't choose to do this because it would seriously affect my ability to network and my career.

ill have a beer when i go out to eat, last week i think i had a beer or two everyday. last night i threw a party at my house, drank some whiskey, didnt get drunk just a nice buzz today i had some southern comfort and ginger ale while hanging out outside on a blanket doin some schoolwork. i like feeling buzzed, as sad as it is it kind of motivates me to do stuff. not drive or anything stupid like that, but like schoolwork. i think because my moon is in the 6th house i have to feel like im getting something accomplished every second of the day, and when im buzzed my mind automatically goes to the "DO STUFF" stage. in no means am i dependent on alcohol though, the longest ive been without it is probably 3-4 months.

I didn't count, probably between 6 months and 1 year. I usually drink like 3-4 times/year and mostly socially. However I DO like to drink, A LOT (hello, exact conjunction of Moon and Neptune on the addictive South Node!), but my father is a drunk and I swore to myself I will not be him, ever, in any respect. I am also a control freak and I hate not being in full control of myself, which is why I don't get drunk in public.
I love dry red wine and Baileys, separately, of course.
