In the wake of his 2020 experiment in which stopped drinking alcohol for a monthYouTubers Craig and Chyna Benzine took on the challenge again in late 2021. In a new video, they check in after four months without alcohol and share how they feel.
For starters, Craig begins to feel tired at night, which he suspects has to do with his body waiting for the usual burst of energy he would normally get from a drink. For similar reasons, he has nightly sugar cravings for the first month or so.
Chyna makes an exception and has a single celebratory drink on Christmas Eve, only to be surprised to find that she doesn’t enjoy it as much as she’d hoped. “It was good, but it wasn’t as good as she expected,” she says. “He didn’t hit the way I thought he would.”
After a while, Craig notices a significant increase in his work productivity, and they both say they have experienced a small improvement in the quality of their sleep. “It feels like a deeper, better sleep,” she says. “When I wake up, I feel more refreshed.” Craig adds that while he hasn’t lost any weight, he has found it easier to maintain his current weight without trying too hard.
At the end of the four months, both Craig and Chyna have decided that the benefits of being teetotal far outweigh any enjoyment they once had from beer and cocktails. And having found a wide variety of non-alcoholic alternatives, they decide they are going to go ahead.
“I don’t miss drinking,” Chyna concludes. “Right now I don’t think she wants to start drinking again, at least not very regularly.”
