Notes -
Do you drink alcohol? If so, how much and how often, and what's your age?
I'm mid 40s and I used to be a social drinker, but gave it up 2.5 years ago because the hangovers, even after 2 drinks, became atrocious. Even if I ate something, spread out the drinks, hydrated, etc. Of my greater social group, though, I'm the only one to give it up. I keep hearing about people drinking less, but no one I know among my age group has slowed down or given it up.
Used to drink a lot when I was young (basically no sober weekends and at least one or two drunk days for several years), but always socially. That was just the kinds of friends I made at school. I grew sick of the hedonism-maxxing culture, reduced drinking to the point of practically quitting in my 20s, and I switched to social circles built on studying/work and sports. I still enjoy beer and scotch, but almost never get around to drinking any due to persistent social isolation (and I still almost never drink alone, maybe one glass per year). It's nice when I'm at a beer garden in summer, after a long walk, with friends, but I have no issues with not drinking. Age 36 now.
