All I can think of is battery life may take a hit. OSX is incredible with battery life.

That said I get decent battery life on Linux. 9 hours idle or light use…maybe more. Not sure yet because I just replace the battery.

You need help stopping and there is help available. I quit drinking a few years ago after realizing I was an alcoholic. You need to stop before you body forces you to stop.

With some effort, support, and planning I was able to not drink for a year straight. And have since been able to have a drink without having too much or wanting more.

It isn’t easy but neither is liver issues.

Figure out what drives you to drink and avoid it. I cut friends that I liked to drink around. Quit a well paying job because it stressed me out. I took a few weeks off after I quit and kinda reset and finally had found my major trigger.

Anyway you can get a handle on it.
