When I was in my 20s, I drank socially from time to time and even occasionally by myself. As I've grown older, I pretty much stopped:
- I've found that the pressures of "adult" responsibilities (kids, real career, etc) leave little time for it
- I want to model good behavior for my kids, and in particular, I don't want my kids to see me drinking or drunk
- I'm in the back half of my 30s now - I've realized that the time ahead of me is limited - and I still have a ton of stuff I want to accomplish. Spending that time with dulled senses or on dealing with hangovers just seems wasteful and pointless
