Idk if I’m ahead of you guys or behind. In my early 30s I found if I had more than 2 drinks I felt like absolute garbage so I made a strict rule of no more than 2 per day, no matter how far spread out. I am still doing well on that rule in my 40s.

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.

You sound triggered.

You sound like a broken record. Yawn.

Why are you in this thread if people making healthier choices triggers you?

You're not making the choice because you think it's best, your body is old and breaking down and can't process the alcohol and is making the choice for you. Yay you.

Huh? Alcohol always made me feel less than great the next day. I just grew tired of it. Instead of sleeping in, I'd much rather wake up early and get a workout in. You feel energized the day after drinking? That seems odd. Sounds like you metabolize alcohol abnormally, or are maybe an alcoholic with a dependancy.

It's your smug attitude that's the problem. If someone can have a drink and then wake up feeling like a million bucks what is the problem? Your body doesn't function as well. So you do you. All you need to say is that alcohol doesn't agree with you so you abstain. It's not a choice when you have an intolerance.

Aww, the lush’s fee-fees are hurt.

You don't get a trophy for not being to handle alcohol. Much like menopausal weight gain isn't a conscious choice either. Just own it without the moral superiority. We all age, some more gracefully than others.

What's next? Going to gloat about your peanut allergy and your healthy choice to avoid all peanuts because you're a smart cookie?

Dude, you walked into a thread that is clearly not about you, and are offended? Sounds like you have a problem doing things that aren't good for you. And sounds like you know you have a problem, to be quite honest. Good luck.

Hi! I to an permimenopusal and alcohol doesn't agree with me much. It's not a super power or pedestal worthy. I'm old, like you.

So now if I go out with DH, I'll have a cocktail at 6 or 7 at the latest (usually accompanies dinner). The only thing I'm bummed about is that cocktails have become so much more interesting in the last 10 years, unlike when I was younger!

Excessively expensive too

I've never tolerated alcohol well and perimenopause made it much worse. If I have one strong drink, I know my sleep will be wrecked. It's not worth it. I might half of a drink while socializing, but that's it.

Yes. I'll have the very occasional drink. Used to be maybe once a month. Then every two months. Now, I might have a drink or a few sips once or twice a year.

Alcohol causes cancer, so you are better off without it, OP.

From time to time, people will feel uncomfortable you are not drinking. I've had friends offer me sips of their drinks because they felt weird drinking by themselves...

Then I guess your body was never good at processing alcohol. Why not give up sugar and caffeine too while you're at it making "healthy choices" if you want to pat yourself on the back?

43. I might have one glass of wine or two tiny 3 oz glasses of wine every week or two at home. When we go out, which isn't often, I might have one drink. This is only if I feel like it and if I don't have work the next day.

I can't remember the last time I had two drinks. Oh wait, I can, and I felt terrible the next day.
