[quote=Anonymous]I’m an early-40s parent of young kids and I feel like most people I know in this group fall into one of two camps: heavy drinker (like what OP describes, with most social events revolving around drinking and always drinking multiple drinks in a night) or barely drinks at all.

I’m in the second camp. I drank more pre kids but now it just makes me tired and I feel terrible the next day. I might have a beer or glass of wine, but I’ll nurse it all night. I almost never drink at home. It’s just not worth it.

I also don’t understand how people my age drink do much. Especially with young kids who are not going to let you sleep in the next day. I’ve also noted a lot of people are gaining a lot of weight now that were in my 40s and I think alcohol is a major culprit. I have t changed my diet at all and haven’t gained at all, and I think it’s partly because I don’t really drink. I just don’t think your body can metabolize all the calories in alcohol efficiently at this age (also why it makes you feel so much worse!)[/quote]
