Don't stop drinking. Live your life. You only have one. Are you going to worry about an air conditioner falling on you while you walk down the pavement?
>Those "stupid things" are often things you reminisce about with friends many years later
Often only because your friends inform you of your "memorable accomplishments" at the time which you actually have no recollection of whatsoever.
I don't know what's on their mind sometimes . . . and neither do they.
It's bizarre to me that some people think the opposite of "drinking alcohol" is "being solitary and having no fun". It seems like a lot of people have leaned on alcohol for so long that they've actually become convinced it's the only way.
Weekend drinkers, while terrified of having a boring life, are some of the most boring people I know. They never read anything, they never do anything, they never build anything or have any interesting ideas. They're too busy sleeping until noon to have time for that.
And while you drinking, especially hard, it is hard build anything or implement your ideas - alcohol very often acts as “reset” button (at least in my case) and you not able to develop and maintain any complex idea for a long time - next party will wipe it out.
If you are drinking so little that you are not getting hangovers (and you are older than say 35), then you are drinking so little you might as well substitute the alcohol for something non-alcoholic and do the same thing, because your experience will largely be the same as that of a sober person either way.
People in here are acting like the only thing enjoyable about alcohol are the effects of binge drinking.
I have one or two beers in the evening, and I fall asleep. Been that way since my 20s.
>Live your life. You only have one.
Two interesting pieces of advice.
As we know however, tons of people are going to need to completely stop drinking alcohol in order to continue living any kind of life at all.
Survival would hinge on heeding only the latter approach.
not my downvote, but I do speak from experience, I actually was set back a couple years as a result of an air conditioner in motion combined with the way the pavement behaved.
But I survived.
