When you don’t drink often, drinking just a little might not be worth the downsides. You lose tolerance for alcohol fast, and you realise that getting a buzz doesn’t actually feel that great, and isn’t worth feeling worse the next day which can happen after just a couple of beers.

Yeah, I used to drink 7 or 8 beers every night, but now I only drink at special occasions or if I’m stuck working out of town for more than a couple of days. When I drink now it only takes a couple of beers to get the same level of drunk that 7 got me before, and I can drink four and I’m all wobbly. I don’t get hungover anymore though.

Cholesterol, weight, and high blood pressure. I’m getting older.

Not OP, but that’s an incredibly common situation.
