I quit because of cycling. I was riding a lot of centuries in the Fall of '83 and buying a 12-pack afterwards. After back to back centuries in high heat and humidity one weekend, I decided right then and there that I could either drink or ride a bike. I chose riding a bike. Been a teetotaler ever since and never looked back.
