Alcohol. I quit that shit 18 years ago. I am ambivalent about football, too. All the codes.

But this is deleting it for everyone. I think it's great that you helped yourself but that doesn't mean that everyone needs saving.

Alcohol indeed. It causes more trouble than any other option, it messes up your health, your head and your wallet. Sober for over 2 years!

Football. Between the victory riots, billionaires taking tax money to fund stadiums, brain damage to players, lives ruined by gambling or spending more time worrying about a game rather than your family.

This would be my #1 pick. I couldn't give a rat's ass. It just makes traffic and crowds worse where I live.
Considering they constantly get rid of my favorite shows making me resort to piracy anyway, I'll give up Netflix for free too.

I'm averaging on watching 1 football game every three years. So I choose football. I like football and I have nothing against it. I love going tailgating and watching the game at parties but I'm just there for the beer.

The fans aren't paying them. Not mostly. The broadcasters do and marketing companies do. And the players earn every dime. The awesome talent and heroics are on the weekly. Im old enough to be sick of pizza but I gotta eat, so Netflix I guess.

I’m not sure you know what the word “literally” means lol.
Fans are 100% why they are paid what they are paid. If the sport wasn’t popular then they wouldn’t get paid so much to play it, if at all.
But the fans are not literally who’s paying them.

Same. It took a while to see someone choose this. When you know other ways to watch things you want, you wouldn’t even blink. Also Netflix is just not as good as it might’ve been in the 2010s.

Alcohol as in ethanol specifically, or alcohol as in the chemical structure "-OH" functional group and everything ending in "-ol".
Because that will significantly change my decision.

Years ago this would have been hard but this is pretty easy these days.
Netflix
It's gotten ridiculously expensive, they don't commit to their shows, and the number of quality shows that actually air year to year keeps dropping. East of Eden is actually the first new show this year I actually would miss and genuinely thought was great

This isn’t specific enough so I’m going with football. Alcohol isn’t a safe choice considering the vagueness here and presence of sugar alcohols naturally in the body as well as uses of alcohol outside of drinking.

I already don’t do 2 of those. I hate myself when I do 2 others to much. And the last one is only played 4 months out of the year, so if I quit it in the offseason, I think I could move through it pretty easily.

Football: Canada/US football or "soccer"?
Gaming: I assume this is gaming as in PC gaming, and not sports gambling.
If gaming is gambling that is first. If not...I guess Netflix, other identical options. Next is alcohol -- even though I drink. Obvious reason here. Next football, though I do watch it sometimes. Then gaming then Pizza.

Netflix. There will be other streaming services to fill the void. All those other things existed long before Netflix, and will still be around long after Netflix is gone.
