People who gave up alcohol all have extremely common answer when asked why they went sober

It's officially Sober October and it's an entire month dedicated to trying to steer clear of a night on the lash.

It can feel almost impossible to be a sober person these days as it seems every social situation calls for alcohol.

Breakfast? Have a cheeky mimosa.

Brunch? Make it bottomless.

Dinner? A glass of wine won't hurt.

It's especially difficult to quit when you're in your 20s and 30s as party culture is wild until you reach the age where you'd prefer to shop for house decor and look at the newest brand of vacuum.

According to the UK's largest recent study of drinking behaviours, Gen Z are the most tee-total generation of all, with only 26 percent of people taking part.

I wish I could say the same for the Millennials.

So, for Sober October we've rounded up a bunch of answers from people who quit drinking when asked why they decided to stop.

According to the NHS, there are more than seven and a half million people in the UK who all show signs of alcohol dependence, with alcohol being the third leading preventable cause of death in the UK after smoking and obesity-related diseases.

The NHS also recommends those who want to consume alcohol to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread across three days or more - that's around six medium (175ml) glasses of wine, or six pints of four percent beer.

Some people, however, have decided to go teetotal altogether with many taking to Reddit to explain exactly why.

In short, it's because it made them way happier and healthier.

Even CleanCo reported the same thing about people who took part in Sober October.

The website claims that 88 percent of participants went on to report improved mental health, and 65 percent even experienced better physical health.

One Reddit user explained: "Saves a lot of money and feels much healthier/happier."

"It started giving me mad anxiety the next day," revealed a second. "Seemingly out of nowhere - it just started happening one day. One night of fun wasn’t worth 3 days of anxiety so I stopped."

A third chimed in: "Because of the morning after. When you feel like a hollow and anxiety-ridden puddle of a human."

"I’m sad when I drink," admitted a fourth, while a fifth penned: "I realised I couldn’t have just one drink and be content. I also realised that I was the most drunk in social settings where there was alcohol. I also couldn’t handle the increasingly worse hangovers."

A sixth explained: "I started having very upsetting experiences of 1-2 glasses of wine making me very sick. If it’s not even fun anymore, why do it?

"Also, have you seen how healthy sober people look? It’s amazing."

A seventh pointed out: "The lows of hangovers started to outweigh the highs of being drunk.

"Anxiety, headache, nausea from just a couple of drinks. I now occasionally have one, but I won’t ever get drunk again and I think it was my body rather than my mind that forced me into it!"

"It’s horrible in every way for your body. I feel horrible for three days," added an eighth.

Another quipped: "I feel better without it and my skin looks better. That’s reason enough for me."

And a final Reddit user added: "Panic attacks/high anxiety pretty much the whole day after drinking."

So, it seems for some people, limiting your boozing can truly make you a healthier and happier person.
