I'd say the older one gets, the more alcohol can tend to change from being the message to being the punctuation.

In my case it'll be either an IPA (something new: everyone has a shitty IPA around here so there's no lack) or a whisky I like, in 1-2 social zooms a week and/or something to mourn the death of the weekend.

45 here. Drinking makes my joints hurt the next day. Likely from inflammation.

Do you mean drink at all or get drunk?

Drunk once a month at most, normally at gigs.

But once or twice a month I'll have one drink at home on a Saturday night. A large beer or a small cocktail. At the moment I'm doing a Jack Torrance, whisky and advocat.

I don't drink through the week but then again I never did. I used to be a pothead and smoked weed most nights, but I had to stop due to testing about 5 years ago.

I still like going out and drinking (at restaurants, bars, or concerts) but only on the weekends and definitely not every weekend. A lot of my friends don't drink at all anymore, which is fine. It's very rare that I drink at home.

I'll have a drink 2-3 times a week, usually. Maybe two drinks if I'm in an especially good mood. Maybe once a month or less I'll go to a show at a bar and have 3-4 drinks while I'm there.

A couple times a month.

Maybe once a year if that, but I was the same long before 30.

Alcohol just tastes like chemicals to me, cant even have it in food without the taste being ruined.

Maybe twice a year, and then fairly little. A Friday night out with friends resulted in me having headaches until Sunday afternoon, and I wasn't knocking back shots like there's no tomorrow, really just some casual drinks. Not worth it.
