* I spend much less than those who drink regularly;
* I save my body stress that I can use for other kind of self damaging vices;
* I do not risk driving under influence;
* I do not risk making BAD decisions or throw tantrums with the downside that I have to take responsibility of my action anytime;
* I do not risk my weapons license.
All in all I can see the advantages 
EDIT: I misused a term. today I'm out of sync with my English repertory.

And much to my surprise, when I stopped drinking I started sleeping better, and more effectively. When I was drinking, I needed 9 or 10 hours sleep, and was generally still felt tired when I woke. Without the booze, I need 5 or 6 hours, and don't!

Ok, then I must be drinking while I'm not awake... I still need 8-9 hours of sleep. But I noticed that I can function with 6 or 7 and now more than 9 hours leave me a wreck for the whole day.

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!  )

I still drink (more than I should) but rarely need more than 6 hours sleep. There are other downsides, but at my age they are not worth worrying about.

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.

Maybe if you're a morning person.
I don't feel good until I get up and wash my face with cold water 
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.

As a morning person, I heartily encourage you* to sleep through the day so we don't accidentally get a good look at you: and those eyes hoping for death so they might again close.
And the air will remain fresh; free of the taint of perpetual morning-mouth.

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!
