I`m 41 now and sober for almost 5 years. When I started drinking at around fourteen we were always a bunch of people going to partys, festivals, disco and such things it was fun at the beginning. We continued drinking, and I think I never had a whole month without alcohol or getting drunk after I was 20, until around my 35th birthday. Then I just stoped everything, smoking cigarettes, drinking, all the "fun" stuff. Because I realized we didn't go to partys anymore or were visiting festivals, we were just sitting around at the weekend drinking beer, playing videogames and watching some HeavyMetal bands from the 80s/90s(when we were young) on youtube and complain about how life sucks when you get older and how we would do things different when we only could go back in time. I realized that I was doing this my whole life, I was always complaining that I couldn't "go back" to change things instead of just trying to live a better life in the present. So, like I said I stoped drinking, started to teach myself programming and math to maybe one day find a job that I like and just live a "normal" life. I'm still unemployed and often times I doubt that I can find a good job, because I wasted 25 years, and it's getting harder every year. But still, quitting alcohol was the best decission of my life. So yes, at the beginning drinking is fun, but in my opinion it's not worth the price that you have to pay for it.
