Fill the gap with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap.

I have decided to _____ drinking alcohol for health reasons?

Answer Details
The most appropriate option to fill the gap is "give up". The sentence means that the speaker has made the decision to stop drinking alcohol for health reasons. "Abandon", "discard", and "jettison" also mean to get rid of something, but "give up" specifically means to stop doing something that is habit-forming or detrimental to health.
