[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these fools arguing over drinking and hangovers? Get a life.

After 50, I turned the alcohol way down. Now mid-50s, I nearly never order a drink or finish one handed to me. I order mocktails and 0% beer when I want something other than water. Feel much better and I think it's made a difference in my skin.

My Mom still drinks wine daily, a deeply ingrained habit. Wish she'd quit but it's unlikely to happen.[/quote]

The problem is your body changes and you adapt, that's it. Getting on a soap box about it is embarrassing.[/quote]

I did reduce drinking and also avoid certain types of alcohol to avoid side effects in perimenopause. But I also hate holier than thou attitude and lecturing about drinking from people who do this for very personal reasons (maybe they have problems with alcohol addiction or allergies or whatever). Luckily quitters aren't insufferable like the PP you are replying to.  I do notice the trend of more and more middle aged women quitting alcohol altogether.  I also wonder if they are hitting other substances or certain prescribed mood medications. [/quote]
