Wasn't a huge drinker, maybe like 1 beer a night at home. I lost my appetite for it once I started hitting the gym regularly. Just didn't get the craving for it like I used too. Will still occasionally drink socially.

I haven’t stopped but I’ve slowed down. Pretty natural considering I’m in my early 30’s. Between having two kids, taking on more responsibilities, not taking hangovers as well, and all our friends having less time as well, I drink a fraction of what I did in my early 20’s.

I’m much more productive as I get up fairly early even on weekends now, and generally feel like doing something instead of being tired/hungover. That’s good because now is the time to spend time with kids and set up myself for the rest of my life.

I stopped drinking hard liquor. I'll only drink beers socially now.

I used to drink regularly, 3-4 days a week, 4-5 beers. Got busy, married, started a family. Bought a house. It just fell off the list of things for entertainment. It's been a few decades since I drank outside of social constructs. At this point, I look more longingly at a nice bottle of fresh Orange Juice than I do a nice 6 pack of beer. I still drink just to excess a few times a year in social settings but even that's not as euphoric as it used to be.

Any adult pushing you to drink alkohol is weird (when not yet drank any, I shall prepend).

The coolest thing to do is your own thing. So just pass with a smirk and tell them right out:

I don't need a drink to think you are fun!
