>>17253646I'm not going to tell you to not drink, but when it comes to alcohol prudence and early action are import.
a break sounds like a good idea.
If you're still somewhat concerned you could keep track of negative consequences in writing somehow. then if / when you decide the bad outweighs the good then cut back / stop.
also considering multiple perspectives (like you're doing by making this thread) is a good sanity check. especially people you're close to. if they care about you and also don't have problems with your drinking habits then that's probably a good sign. It's when the perspectives start to disagree that some critical objective look might be most helpful
