65 Before-And-After Pics Show What Happens When You Stop Drinking (Part 2)
Remember our post about effects of alcohol on the body? It became a viral sensation with more than 1.4 million views and inspired more than 50 Bored Panda readers to upload their own stories. We decided that these pandas deserve a separate post, so we made a part II to raise even more awareness.
There are so many benefits of quitting drinking - starting with improved health, lost pounds and ending with feeling so much better about yourself while also managing the sometimes irreparable long-term effects of alcohol abuse.
Some of these people changed so much, they're barely recognizable compared to their previous selves - take a look below at our compilation. Be inspired and inspire others to quit alcohol too!

Clearly these individuals made more life changes than quitting drinking. Rather than nitpicking on the title of this series of photos, I applaud their sobriety led to a much healthier and clearly happier lifestyle. Congrats on their hard earned results.
I been sober since 2010. Have to be kind of naive if you can't have fun without alcohol. Very bad substance and I know what I'm talking about. There's no reason in the whole world to drink. Alcohol doesn't even belong in some cultures.
Alcohol is for people. If you can use it properly, it is not a "very bad substance". I like to have a glass of wine once in a time but I can also have fun without it. It is not alcohol itself that brings people down...
Alcohol is an addictive poison - fact. It’s the same substance you use to fuel your car - fact. First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you - also fact. Your decision to “enjoy “ a drink isn’t even under your conscious control - fact. Try reading This Naked Mind by Annie Grace formore actual facts and neuroscience
I have currently quit drinking and want to see the effect at 30 days and 90 days, however I don't intend to permanently quit drinking because I do enjoy it both taste and the social aspect. *shrug* to each their own but as long as it's not causing violence, let them drink!
HOLY OVERINDULGENCE!! These people were drinking far more than the average person to have undergone such a huge (yuuuuuuuuuge) transformation. Most people would never have lost that much weight.
