Couple of years back my sister-in-law, an avid golfer, was visiting from Milwaukee. We were playing Saddlebrook and I was having a pretty forgettable round. So my sister-in-law suggested some "aiming fluid", which happened to be a beer. Very next hole, I scored a hole-in-one.

True story.

aiming fluid? I thought it was swing oil.

just some FYI....my neighbor drank a highball every day for last 50 years. He had to go into hospital for some minor heart(never minor) surgery. He started to go through withdrawals and no one could understand what was happening until they realized it was withdrawals. He passed 28 days later, never able to have his surgery because body was too toxic from the alcohol.

How could quitting alcohol be unhealthy?
If it doesn’t affect your daily life, your personality and if you’re not killing your liver then “Live and let Live”
I do think 4 drinks a day everyday seems to me will sooner or later it will come for your liver.

Ya, hard to believe anyone would have "withdrawal symptoms" from one drink per day. So either they were drinking a heck of a lot more, or it wasn't alcohol withdrawal.

Health issues yes.
