As a casual drinker, I so much appreciate more people refusing alcohol (slrpnk.net)

I've always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It's a disgusting narrative that ruins people's lives.

On social media, there's a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they've gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.

I appreciate that.

And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.

I remember being this. I also remember everyone telling me to enjoy it while it lasts... and they're aboslutely right.

One day it just goes away. Suddenly you have a hangover for the first time, and then that's it. You're no longer the "I don't get hangovers" person.

I'm 58. I'm pretty sure that if I haven't had one by now I won't have one.
