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.
A couple times a week, amount varying from one drink to five. The latter is only if I’m at home with the wife and we’re hanging out for the evening, playing Minecraft or listening to music together, low-effort social interaction.
I do think that’s too much for me. Today I I went back to sleep after my alarm this morning and was late for work. I feel like an idiot, so I am going to make an effort to cut back.
The complication is that I’ve been getting into mixing cocktails, mostly for my extended family. It feels like a legitimate reason to buy more and better liquor. I…think that might be a bad thing. I’m very capable of overthinking this, so the best thing is probably just to cut back.
