Okay I may have mislead you, I cut cigarettes and have been so er of alcohol for a while now. At points in my life it was practically a functioning addiction level, started in high school and continue...
Oh wow, nicely done. I effectively didn't drink until pretty late in life. Just never had it around often, but became a habit in past <2 years for some reason. We found ourselves always keeping it in stock and looking forward to evening drinks. No sloppy or dangerous use, but the shit is kinda poison, even at small regular doses. I definitely get an urge, a thirst, around the time I would normally have a cocktail, so I can see how it could get out of control.
