    The next day, that feeling of dreaded anxiety mixed in with a dollop of self-loathing and a general feeling that everything and everyone you know are totally pointless. I don't like that.

      It is Nagy! Only Nagy can not find a single advantage of not drinking, even his life depend on it...

          Maybe if you're a morning person. I don't feel good until I get up and wash my face with cold water X| And I don't get really active until somewhere after dinner. I'm at my best when "normal" people go to bed. And of course I'm a wreck again the next morning, because I didn't go to bed at that time. The sad thing about this world is that it's all about morning people. Why the heck do school/work days start at 8-9!? I do my best and make it at 9:30-10, but in weekends and vacations it doesn't really start until 12-13.

              TBH, drinking is not a good idea in this heat, though I would murder for a G&T. Wine is plentiful, beer available but spirits appear to be as common as rocking horse shit.

                      I just realized something - I believe nagy actually means snake in Hindi and Urdu. Hindi speakers can confirm this or correct me :-)

                          Oh okay. That may be right. I remember a movie called Nagina (means female snake woman) from when I was very young. So yeah, it's probably naga for male and nagina for female. How do you know Hindi anyway?

And the air will remain fresh; free of the taint of perpetual morning-mouth. * Night-Owls, &etc.

                                        After years of being spurned and abused by the night-owls, the morning people have at last banded together to "re-educate" those who avert their eyes from the sunrise!

                                          I suspect it's just that I "need" 5 or 6 hours, but when I drank I needed a whole lot more to get some (if not all) of the alcohol out of my system before I could get "real" sleep.

                                          More likely because you're getting older. The need for sleep tends to decrease the older you get (or so is my understanding - it hasn't happened to me yet! :~)
