Not to claim you’re unoriginal...but I’ve been reading a lot about people quitting alcohol for a while in the last four or five months. Read a column about it this morning, even. Is the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon rearing its head or is there genuinely a trend happening?

It's a Facebook thing.

It'd be interesting to see in what sense the trend is increasing. I posted about it in January to Hubski though there weren't any bites. My increased awareness happens to coincide entirely with meeting people in their thirties--so slightly older than me--who also gave up alcohol. And it's for random reasons why I've been meeting with slightly older people. Most people my age or younger are still entirely balls to the wall with drinking.
