Saving Money by Quitting?

I'm curious how much money people are saving by not drinking. I'm 54 days since my last drink, and was 99% a social drinker. That often meant 3-4 glasses of wine, at a bar, which with tip was $70-80 per night. Now I'm having 2-3 mocktails or N/A beers, and spending $20-$25 per night, and that's with a very generous tip, often $5-$10 on a $12 base tab.

In total, I'd often spend $300-$350 on Ubers + drinks out per week. Now I spend about $50, because I can also drive myself without any concerns. Basically $1,000 or even more per month in savings from quitting.
