Took me twenty years to realise I was bored of drinking every night, so hit it on the head last year
I didn't have a drop for about eight months at which point I thought I was bored livid of being sober, so went to the pub and really enjoyed a couple of pints, then went home. Did this a few times and realised I could drink without guzzling. Great!

What I didn't realise was what I had inadvertently done by having a long break was loose 'the thirst' where you can't stop once you've started. So now I can go to a pub, have a pint or two and leave, with no desire/thirst for any more. I now actually find the prospect of going for a session a turn off.

I really like alcohol.
Without it all the ghastly commoners might realise just how shit their miserable lives are and that would cause problems.

Both work.
I think "loose" is a little more poetic in this situation.

I beg to differ. loose the thirst, I take to mean as unbridled binge drinking. where as he meant lose.

I gave up both alcohol and caffeine for Lent one year.
By the end of it I felt like I was stoned, as even the most mundane things were making me laugh hysterically.

Luckily most people (even heavy drinkers) can stop or moderate on their own
Congratulations on being a non-alcoholic and have a click from me.
