Here's what happens to your body when you quit alcohol for 30 days
[NYPOST] Abstaining from alcohol consumption, even just for 30 days, can provide lots of physical and mental health benefits.
We heard all about that in 1918. Too bad everybody who was alive then is dead now.
October is a popular month to put drinking to a halt with "Sober October," a challenge originally started in the United Kingdom as a fundraiser for fighting cancer.
Why are so many people against enjoying oneself?
Moderate drinking is considered two drinks a day or less for men and one drink or less for women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
And who's got a better track record than those guys?
Binge drinking, according to the same source, is quantified as five or more drinks on an occasion (lasting two to three hours) for men and four or more drinks on occasion for women. Excessive alcohol consumption can leave you feeling less than ideal for a long time, with brutal hangovers often accompanying a fun night out.
"So we've decided you're not allowed to drink. Period."
If you want to improve your physical and mental well-being at any point of the year, taking a 30-day break from alcohol can lead to many health benefits.
My opinion is that alcoholism is bad. My opinion is also that people have been drinking since the stone ages and the goddamned babus should keep their drooling honkers out of it.

1 My experience is that, just like quitting smoking, you do not immediately have all this extra energy, money health and serenity.

6 One of my doctors advised me to limit my alcohol intake to three beers a week. I was so close to saying 'you mean per hour, right?'
