Rarely. The hangover extends over 3 days now. It’s just not worth it.
Same here
Back when I went from 350lbs to 190lbs racing bicycles and commuting full time long distance, my legs turned into lead bricks for 3-4 days after any drinking at all, not just drunk. It messed up everything from sodium uptake to digestive rhythm, to my VO2 heart rate zones. That was back in my mid to late twenties too. It isn’t just the hangover or age. When you need 4k plus calories per day, bad food habits get amplified sharply. I think everyone is experiencing something like this, but are not aware of the effects for the most part. I dropped out of a race from it once and it added 15-20 minutes to my 1.5-2.0 hour commute each way if I drank.
Drink more water and 400mg of magnesium daily.
It’s been 796 days since I’ve drank alcohol.
Congratulations! I’m coming up in a decade and a half. Finally (hopefully) sobered up at 31. Best thing that ever happened to me.
That’s great!
Once or twice a month I’ll have a tall boy and a half, enough to feel bad in the morning
Almost never drink spirits. Beer, maybe 2-4 cans a week, sometimes in one evening if I’m hanging out with friends, sometimes spread over multiple days. Only get drunk a couple times a year.
Rarely. Maybe one drink every other week or so.
I want to enjoy what I’m drinking. I like Islay single malts. I can’t afford the Islay single malts that I really like anymore. So…
Once a week at most, usually I go two or three weeks before heading over to my local pub.
1 beer about 5 days per week. Second beer maybe once or twice a month. Haven’t been drunk in probably 5 years or so.
Never. I have this weird thing where my liver doesn’t process it correctly. If I have one beer I’ll throw up for 3 days.
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17659-alcohol-intolerance
"When most people ingest alcohol, which contains ethanol:
An enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) helps metabolize (process) the ethanol.
Your liver converts the ethanol to acetaldehyde, a substance that can cause cell damage.
Another enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) helps convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid (vinegar), which is nontoxic.
In people with alcohol intolerance, a genetic mutation (change) makes ALDH2 less active or inactive. As a result, your body can’t convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid. Acetaldehyde starts to build up in your blood and tissues, causing symptoms."
Sorry to hear, hopefully you didn’t have to learn it the hard way
Oh, man, DID I…
I have one beer most nights now, since like a year ago. I never drink more or anything else other than a glass of wine instead occasionally. Before that, maybe once a month. I’m not in race shape (bicycle) any more but for my 30’s, I’m in far better shape than most.
Maybe 1 beer a month, on average. And spirits maybe twice a year.
Incessantly
1-2 beers a week I think. Couple weekends in a year with maybe six or so portions.
One beer a night with dinner.
One beer early evening. We eat later.
0 times a year.
There isn’t really an upside to getting drunk, but there are a lot of downsides.
Lowering my inhibition allows me to enjoy music
I don’t drink at all. I did the normal college binge drinking thing, but I usually like to keep busy and alcohol makes me too cloudy to think.
So I don’t really enjoy it.
Even if I’m gaming, I get frustrated with the cloudiness and end up just laying around.
I wish there were good quality non alcohol wines And beers as I really like the taste.
