544 || sober curious || downsides

Sober curious movement can have downsides, it can blur the lines and downplay the red flags of alcohol use disorder. Here are some common red flags to watch out for:


  • You feel as if you need to cut back on drinking
  • You can’t stop thinking about drinking/you’re preoccupied with alcohol cravings
  • You can’t stop drinking
  • If you do stop drinking, the effects of not drinking are worse than the side effects of alcohol (nausea, shaking, sweating)
  • You have to drink more and more alcohol over time to get the same effect (aka, you keep building a higher tolerance)
  • You continue to drink despite knowing it’s affecting your health
  • You spend a lot of time buying alcohol, getting drunk, or recovering from the effects of alcohol
  • Drinking makes you neglect your responsibilities (going to work, caring for your children)
  • You drink even when it’s physically dangerous (driving, using heavy machinery)
  • Others have objected to your drinking habits
