Great thread man. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I just got a blood test during my physical and the doctor wants another one to check my liver functions as some readings were a bit off. I drink about the same as you and it's already affecting the liver. What sucks is, if you drink more than 1-2 drinks a day, you're considered a heavy drinker and makes me wonder even more what effects years of this has already done to my body even though I don't consider myself to be a booze hound and definitely don't get buzzed every night.
The reasons I'm pondering are:
Pros to quitting:
1. Health - liver, heart and brain functions
2. Money savings -- that's about $1000 a month, which could be a decent lease on a car or a mortgage payment.
3. More clarity throughout the days.
Cons to quitting:
1. I do like a buzz when I want one.
2. Makes dealing with other people easier sometimes
3. Quick way to deaden a hard day and relax
4. blah blah blah.
And after reading the pros and cons, the funny thing is the cons are pretty fucking retarded when compared to the benefits of not drinking. Hummm....
