A lot of these guys seem like they have quite serious alcohol addictions.
This is the classic Daily Mail alcohol "gotcha" - completely ignoring that if you're an alcoholic then you'll die 20 years earlier and in severe pain after decades of poor health.

I started doing dry January a few years ago. Last year I rolled it all the way through lent. This year I'm going until May 1st.
I've never noticed better sleep but I generally have sleep problems. It does help with weight and having extra cash though. I combine it with my cut cycle so I can get in decent shape.
That first drink back will frick you up hard if you've been abstaining for months. Ended up passed out on the floor last year.

I just decided to stop drinking one day. I'd always found Dry Jan hard in the past, it makes it seem more difficult than it is.

It's very genetic, not only alcoholism but enjoyment of alcohol altogether. I used to get near blackout drunk and have the worst hangovers due to peer pressure. But then I realized I don't enjoy it at all and even hated the taste. So I stopped.
Anyway, that's all to say for some people yeah it is difficult. Its hard to understand if you dont have the alcohol genes.

I don't doubt it yeh, I think a lot of people just drink for the reasons you say, like they never question it.
