I drink every few months at parties or some kind of other festivs but not ever weekend.
The issue I have with alcohol is that if I drink, I drink a lot. So if I commit to drinking I’ll go full drink mode. And it really fcks my whole next week up.
If I Bench 110 kg on friday I won’t be benching 80 kgs on monday if I drank saturday. The whole week is actually broke, I’ll skip tuesday gym and wednesday, be tired til thursday.
So one weekend of drinking costs me like 4-5 days of my progress in the gym.
I think a lot of people dont have issues with drinking, the issue is the following days you eat junk food, dont care about your nutrition, have bad sleep, skip gym or dont do anything cause your fatigued and still recovering from the drinking.
When I was 20 I didnt care.

Oh yeah, it’s amazing how your social circle shrinks when you stop drinking, and how many close friends are now just names you see on social media making annoying posts.
I am now fully sober & enjoying it. People accuse me of being a recluse because I don’t pickle my liver and I take long walks and drink frappucinoes during the daytime instead of going to popular entertainment districts, getting super drunk, and spending a fifth of my money on nonsense booze & snacks.
