Tell that to me as I scroll and type with my thumb, as the others just support my phone

And the alcoholics unite! Keep saying what you want to defend yourself, but 12 beers daily is a problem. Seek help.

They can say what they want. I went from a bit overweight, lazy POS, to strong fit athletic build in only four months.

And I feel great.

But it was NOT cheap!

I understand that you do not NEED those things to be healthier. But I listed all the things that I personally spend money on to better make my point.

My point being that a healthy lifestyle is not cheap, and that one shouldn't quit alcohol with the idea that you will save money or else you may be discouraged and go back to the drinking.

Make the move for your health not wealth.

Damn, a daily 12 pack! I underestimated how much people can drink. That's not just drinking alcohol that's a problem.

I drank a six pack of IPA 🍺 per week. Cost like $10-12 for the sixer, so $40-48 monthly. But quitting alcohol, and focusing on health, has been hella expensive! Much more than $40-48 per month.

Shit that was about what just the gym membership alone cost me.

I guess I underestimated how much many people may be spending on booze?

I associate my health also with my physical fitness. And I didn't have workout clothes or suitable gym shoes, so those were needed. Other than the clothing/shoes, the fresh quality foods have also been more expensive.

But I agree that protein/creatine, and vitamins/supplements may not be necessary with proper diets, but they do help to have good health.

100% agreed! Im all for quitting alcohol, and for getting healthier and focusing on health.

I just don't want people to think that by making these changes they are likely to save money.
