I can see the trend of less drinking.
It's hard on the body. Especially as you get older.
You sleep like shit. Even with just a couple of drinks.
You're less patient with the people that you love.
Less motivated.
It just sucks the life out of you.

It sucks because alcohol seems to unlock a part of my brain in a way that no other drugs can. But the half life is SO short, and you have to keep redosing. And then you inevitably pay for it the next day. I can avoid hangovers pretty well, but even then, my mood is noticeably impacted for at least one or two days after drinking. Even just the shitty sleep you get after a few drinks makes it a hard sell these days...but at the same time, the occasional night drinking helps me feel things I'm not able to otherwise. Ugh. I'm trying to keep it to just a couple nights a month.
I mean, the calories alone are really bad, before you consider the other harmful effects of alcohol.
Not saying it’s better than doing neither, necessarily, but it does seem a ton better than drinking.
I don't drink now because there's no particular benefit to it, only risks. Maybe a half glass of wine or one finger of very old single malt whiskey every now and then.

Is that exclusive to drinking?
