Hi Hobo, pleased to meet you. Most of us start out much differently than we end up. I was like you - long ago. I didn't start drinking until my early 20's & I remember how a few beers would make me giddy. In my 20's I'd just drink on weekends. In my 30's I found plenty of excuses to drink during the week. In my 40's my weekend drinking found me shaky Monday morning, requiring lunchtime drinks to feel "normal". In the end, I drank all day, even had one on my nightstand to sip on during the night when I woke up shaking. I started out just like you, and would have laughed in someone's face if they'd ever told me how I'd end up. Just saying, please be careful and remember when they call it a "progressive disease" they are not kidding. It's great to have you here, so glad you found our community.
