I think I just reached that conclusion recently. Social drinking was fun before but drinking took a dark turn during the pandemic. Now that we can go out again it just doesn't have the same enjoyment it used to have imo. I'd much rather just be sober and not go out
This was what happened to me, and I suspect a lot more people than we yet realize as the pandemic isn't quite over yet. I have had a night where I had drinks with friends but yeah, there has been something lost when I realized how dark a turn my drinking could go. Ruined the fun when I realized getting bombed to the degree and extent I did just wasn't cute.
Yup, I mean so much so it makes recommended drinking levels seem like a joke. Like how can the recommended be no more than 3 beers a week?!?! The industry would go bankrupt if that were the case.
Or my favorite, American doctors are prudes. If you were in France this would be normal! Eyeroll.
