yeah, you're right that not-drinking has not been remarked upon. i also kicked tobacco ( i was at about 1 a day) when covid hit. but i ate like an idiot and was fairly sedentary for that first year, so it was kind of a wash health wise with all the new things to be stressed about.
since then i've been putting effort into re-starting and maintain good habits with regards to activity and nutrition and it's gone fairly OK. it's pretty wild how many good decisions one can make at the beginning of the day when one isn't cringing through a hangover, so i'm trying to build on successes when i see easy opportunities ("bored? take a walk!"). i think i would be in a much darker place if i was like "eh, fuck it" about my health at this point.
people generally guess i'm 7-10+ years younger than i am, though i credit that to my immature disposition as much as anything.
