I never understood my addiction until I learned of a test to see if you’re an alcoholic. There are two types of people, those who experience a physical rush from drinking and those who don’t. The test, on an empty stomach sit down and let your pulse slow to resting. Take 3 shots of vodka, if your pulse increases then you experience a rush when drinking, and you’re susceptible to being an alcoholic. Most of the population will have their heart rate remain constant or decreases. Alcoholics actually feel a rush as they are getting drunker.
It seems obvious now, but I was unaware of the true mechanism until I learned this.

Yup. There are two separate things to consider when drinking: The dopamine-reward sensation - and the intoxication itself.
Blood alcohol rises and it feels great. You get a rush of awesomeness. But that is short-lived and all that is left is the sloppy intoxication which will take hours to go away. The best way to explain it is when you day-drink and then try to sober up by evening. It's only ever fun when blood alcohol is rising. Once blood alcohol begins to fall, it's just a shitty unwelcome experience.

Quitting drinking saved my life. I wasn't even an alcoholic. Just casual. Where I live, it's expensive and sold buy the government. It's one of the few only industries that didn't get covid-1984'd. That alone tells you everything.
Quitting videogames also saved my life, marriage, house, children. Video Games are the worst.

I never really started drinking, and I never really liked it much. If you can manage, I suggest tapering off of any drug or at least do an amount reduction before a total stop.

Based. As a Jew, I don't drink myself. But I'll still outsmart you retarded goyim even if you're sober. I just like raping your women when they are passed out.
