Anyone else not enjoy alcohol anymore as you got older?

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I used to the able to throw QUITE a few back in my 20s. But now, creeping up on 40, I feel disgusting when I drink. That come down is awful. And don’t take a nap when you’re drunk. You wake up feeling like death.

I remember those nights when I knew I drank too much, and was wishing I’d throw up so I could go to sleep. But now, the I don’t even like the smell of alcohol.

I gave it up awhile back. I can’t afford the way it makes me feel afterwards, and I’m not missing out on not drinking it. Beer is something I enjoy so I buy zero alcohol brews only.

I was an alcoholic most of my 20s and 30s

At 39 I hit it with the

Alcohol used to be fun as hell when I was younger. Wasn’t many feelings better than the feeling of coming home, pouring a drink and freaking a black with some music in the background

But as I started getting up in my 30s it made me feel like trash. I’d need a whole day to recover

Haven’t drank in going on 2 years

Not sure if I’ll ever drink again but it will most likely be a once maybe twice a month thing if I do

I still drink but I don’t like getting blackout drunk… I got too much shyt to do.

Drinking a ton of beer definitely don't hit the same, and getting blotto wasted has lost almost all of its appeal

However I've discovered the joy of wine in my 30's, and getting a moderate buzz feels better on one level cause of all the various nagging soreness/injuries I've accumulated

Prefer drinking by myself opposed to group settings these days..Just throw on whatever music I feel like hearing and vibing..

 

[ThisGuy]

Completely stopped drinking once the pandemic hit. Especially once i peeped how it was making alot of people alcoholics and folks were getting all fat and swole up. I already didnt keep alcohol in my place because Im predisopsed to alcoholism on both sides. Gotta fight the power. Never going back

Still enjoy drinking a single malt, tequila
Can't stomach more than a couple beers without feeling

No longer interested in getting drunk

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I actually enjoy it more now. Back in the day I issue to drink to get drunk. Now I don’t just drink cheap shyt with the goal of getting fukked up. I get good shyt that I can sip on and appreciate

I can't take the endless trips to the bathroom. More than two beers and it becomes annoying. Bourbon ftw

Can say that the morning afterwards, the drunk feeling and the overall effects to my body as I age ain't what's up.

Took the entire last year off from it and felt the immediate effects (i.e. awareness, cognitive improvements).

Told myself that I may give it up entirely after this year.

I enjoy drinking more now cuz I’m more intentional about it

But the consequences now I’m older are a little higher, I was binge drinking two months ago; developed a bad case of hiccups where if I smoked I’d have hiccups for 2-3 hours

Also the alcohol clearly impairs my decision making especially wit the hoes

So it’s a wash fr

That's part of it; a lot of beers will have u feeling full, bloated and tired as much as they'll give u a buzz, and they don't sit right w/my digestive system the next day
