I've been sober curious for about a year now - experimenting with long breaks and my overall relationship w/ booze. Loved to see this relatively nascent movement get some

I highly, *highly* recommend reading this piece by @smencimer.
"there is no known safe dosage [of alcohol] in humans, according to the WHO. Alcohol causes at least seven types of cancer, but it kills more women from breast cancer than from any other."https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/04/did-drinking-give-me-breast-cancer/ …

Happy to talk to you about this as you explore "sober curious." I gave up drinking 21 years ago, but not because I was an alcoholic. Big reason was wanting to fully face life. I didn't want "liquid courage." I simply wanted to just *be* courageous, as best I could. DMs open.
