Dear James: To Drink or Not to Drink?
Briefly

The article discusses the positive effects of reducing alcohol consumption on overall well-being. The author reflects on personal revelations about health and mood after eliminating alcohol from their routine. They note clearer thinking, better sleep, and an improved outlook on life without the burden of regular drinking. This aligns with a broader societal trend towards sober living, especially among those aware of a familial history of alcoholism. The author also contemplates the balance of drinking, wanting enough to feel merry without crossing into sadness.
"When I avoid alcohol completely, I feel lighter and more hopeful despite the state of the world, I sleep better, and my memory improves."
"My thought on the question of how much booze should be had: Enough to make you merry, not enough to make you sad."
