How do I stop drinking

This. It just feels lame. One option was getting harder things, but I don't want to risk jail time so I just stopped drinking it and went on a jog when bored.

it's too late for you

Focus on your goals user. Once you realize drinking may be holding you back from your goals in the gym and life in general, it's very easy to stop. That's what stopped me from drinking all the time

Focus on not buying drinks.

If it's your social circle that also all drink, you'll likely lose them user. I haven't drank for years, and all my friends in my teens are either casual drinkers now or dead from escalation into drug use. I got out just before hard drugs were introduced into that friend circle and I'm so glad I did. It's also harder to go clubbing etc sober, pubs are fine, but in Bongland they're used to talk, discuss, watch football and sport, eat, have a few jars or they're used as a warm-up to clubs.

Your health

What kind of hard drugs were they getting into?

>how do I not do thing?
don't do thing

When you feel like drinking buy the worst possible crap and force yourself to drink it.
Alternatively you can only buy drinks that are so expensive you won't dare to drink large amounts.

Dunno, complete sobriety never worked for me.
I went cold turkey a while back and was completely sober for 2 months, the whole experience was pretty miserable.
All I really needed was balance in my life, so now I drink like 1-2 low-alcohol beers a day and no more, I haven't been drunk in a very long time.
