I used to drink a lot when I was young. Like, every day. All through my 20s and 30s I pretty much stayed drunk.
I rarely drink now. It just doesn't do what it used to. I prefer being sober these days.
One day it'll stop working for you and you'll quit drinking. If you live long enough.
One of my best friends drank himself do death. He was around 40, I guess. His organs shut down, he was put on life support, went into a coma, and his mom and wife made the decision to pull the plug.
No big loss, unfortunately. He had driven away everyone who cared about him by being a drunken asshole.
