Sparkling Water Instead of Alcohol アルコールより炭酸水
I don’t drink much alcohol. I think people who do enjoy it either for the taste, the relaxed feeling it gives them, or the socializing that comes with drinking with friends. But I rarely go out in the evening to see friends, and alcohol just makes me sleepy. So I don’t really see any benefits in drinking it.
Instead, I’ve made a habit of drinking sparkling water. I like it because it’s cheaper, lower in calories, and refreshing. Having a glass of sparkling water with lots of ice, especially on a hot summer day or right after a bath, is probably my favorite moment of the day. I consider it a fairly healthy habit, though the plastic waste from 500 ml bottles is the downside. At one point, I was drinking three to four bottles a day, but now I’m trying to cut it down to one bottle a day, or even one every two days.
私はアルコールをあまり飲まない。アルコールが好きな人はその味や、リラックスした気分になれること、友人との交流などを目的にお酒を飲むのだと思うけれど、私は夜に外出して友だちに会うことはほとんどないし、アルコールを飲んでも眠くなるだけなので、アルコールを飲むメリットはほとんどない。その代わりに、炭酸水を飲むのは習慣になっている。炭酸水はアルコールに比べてカロリーは少なく値段も安く、すっきりするので気に入っている。夏の暑い日やお風呂上がりに氷をたっぷり入れた炭酸水を飲むのは一日の中で一番好きな瞬間かもしれない。比較的健康的な習慣だと思っているが、500mlのペットボトルのごみを出してしまうことだけが問題だ。多い時は一日3，4本飲んだこともあるけれど、一日一本や2日で一本程度に控えたほうがいいと思っている。
I don’t drink much alcohol much.
This is about a really precise detail here but:
"I don't drink alcohol much" ~= "I rarely drink alcohol" - focuses more on the frequency
"I don't drink much alcohol" ~= "I only drink small volumes of alcohol" - focuses more on the quantity
The first is a little more natural for the context.
I think people who do enjoy it either for the taste, the relaxed feeling it gives them, or the socializing that comes withfrom drinking with friends.
Again, super small detail, "from" or "with" are actually acceptable in this case, but "with... with..." sounds a little awkward.
I consider it a fairly healthy habit, though the plastic waste from 500 ml bottles is thea downside.
"the" downside kind of rules out there can be other downsides (e.g. teeth decay)

Your English writing is pretty good. I gave feedback on some really small details, mainly because it was very good already.
I also very rarely drink at parties, and tend to go for soft drinks (soda etc). This sometimes causes problems, as while alcohol makes my friends sleepy, the caffeine makes me very alert by the end of the night!

Thank you for your comment on my writing. I get it—it’s not easy to stay sober when everyone else is drinking.

I bet there are a lot of benefits to staying away from alcohol. 特にお金の節約になりますね。 No pressure, though!

Indeed. I am drinking green tea (or some other herbal tea) fairly regularly. Now and then, a little of wine is nice.
Often I dilute the wine with water like the ancient Greeks did.

A TYPO:
X It seems drinkers often the taste,
O It seem drinker often relish the taste,
Sorry for the typo! The word "relish" should have been added.

Thank you! Avoiding I or but at the start of a sentence is a real challenge for me—they’re such easy, tempting options.
I think that the people who do enjoy it either for the taste, the relaxed feeling it givestherapeutic effect that it has on them, or the socializingation that comes with drinking with friendstypically accompanies it.
I consider it to be a fairly healthy habit, although the plastic wastone of the downsides is the leftover plastic—which may pose fprom 500 ml bottblems isfor the downsideenvironment.
This one depends on what you were going for: I hope that I was able to express your thoughts properly.

Well constructed post! Your English is rather clean, and I look forward to seeing what you post in the future!
Sept. 20, 2025
Addendum: I would like to note that your original post was good to the point where you could have posted it on a social media site and have been perfectly understood. My changes were less about correcting mistakes, and more about adjusting the sentences to make them more native-like.
Well done!

Thank you! Yes, I was thinking about the environmental impact of plastic bottles. After all, it’s not very eco-friendly to keep buying bottled beverages, I suppose. So your suggestion makes perfect sense.
I think people who do enjoy it either for the taste, the relaxeding feeling it gives them, or the socializing that comes with drinking with friends.
But I rarely go out in the evening to see friends, and alcohol just makes me sleepy.,
Sso I don’t really see any benefits in drinking it.
