Glyon1, drinking is different for everyone. I had some friends who could bomb out on the weekends and bounce back like whatever. They didn't even care about the things they did on the weekend.
You're being smart when you think about how drinking affects you behaviour and your life.
It's just a drink.
Think about how that drink affects your life.
I spend a lot of my time thinking about it; and I wish I had thought about it when I was younger, so please forgive me if this sounds kind of preachy.
Best,
