If you cut something out entirely, that’s hard at first, but basically free later, when you became unaddicted. Just reducing consumption to medium level probably doesn’t cause you to get unaddicted in this way, so this requires some degree of long-term willpower. I assume this is why alcoholics try to stay completely “dry”, not just reduce their consumption.
Sure. I don’t want to spend the medium term willpower required to cut it out entirely either
