The true balance is to only consider alcohol for planned social events / vacations. Not for your days off work (or especially days that you do work).
This is exactly right. Alcohol is pretty damn easy to give up if you're content going into hermit mode and focusing on work for an extended time. Anytime I break a long period of not drinking is when I absolutely start going crazy from boredom.

I honestly don't even understand how people can become dependent on alcohol, unless they're using it to mask some other unpleasant feelings.

I drink an entire bottle of Old Grandad every night.

Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

I actually eat less when drinking. Many times I would just skip dinner and go to sleep right away. Also it helps me sleep actually. I can't quite get the same deep sleep I get after drinking
Sounds like alcoholism….
