It might start with "just one drink." Then it becomes harder to say no. Before you know it, you've developed an alcohol dependency. When you stop drinking, your life will get better in unimaginable ways.

Getting "blackout drunk" is becoming disturbingly common. That's when you drink so much that you just can't remember how the night ended. When you don't drink, you'll actually enjoy parties more since you'll know what really happened.

No explanation needed.

Alcohol is expensive! This is especially true if your bar tab is running high - or if you're always refilling your liquor cabinet.

Your drunk self can become hellishly dramatic. Viewing the world through "beer goggles" makes everything skewed. You blow things out of proportion and start unnecessary fights. Take off those goggles and get real!

Alcohol can wear away at your immune system. Liquor especially wreaks havoc on your mouth and throat. You'll become healthier without alcohol in your life.

You might drink to "fit in" but that's no excuse. Real friends appreciate you when you're not falling down and making a fool of yourself.

Just try going sober at your next party. See what happens. If you've been drinking for a long time, you might feel weird. Embrace the feeling! Eventually you'll learn that sober people have more fun.

Lasting relationships are ones that don't depend on negative influences.

It's not just learning more about other people. Quitting alcohol also teaches you about yourself. You'll see why it became a crutch for you. Losing a bad habit improves your self-esteem (and self-awareness!).

We all know alcohol is bad for us, but this may give you a surprising new perspective about what it takes to quit.

Alcohol doesn't just impact your liver. It also affects your appearance. Want to look young? Put down that glass!
