I have heard, but I don't know for certain, that people 'giving' up as a test, are often more likely to be alcoholic than people that just drink because they like it and know when to stop.

I suspect it's a body thing.

I can understand the reasoning behind it, but it doesn't necessarily follow because people who are testing themselves probably already tell themselves they can give up if they wanted.

I didn't miss it, didn't feel any different or get any apparent health benefits, I just saved a bit of money for four weeks.

My test for "alcoholism" is if I start drinking Baileys or cider or any of the other drinks that make my stomach heave. ;)
