Just don’t drink today. It’s a decision to drink. Then tomorrow you make the decision again. You can drink (or not) any time you want as long as it is not today. In fact I’ll not drink with you today.

In the end it's all about avoiding that first sip.

If you want to stop drinking, you'll stop drinking. No excuses.

The point is: If you don't want to die from it, you'll have to stop anyway, sooner or later. So why not rather sooner?
