Of course, you have a point here.
It's just that some of these guys are way older than me, and have been drinking without apparent complications all their life, and probably far more than I have, and I would be the one who needs to stop? It seems both illogical and unfair. Some of them are even probably alcoholic, but either they wouldn't say it or they wouldn't make a big deal out of it. And I would be the one who does?
It's true they seem happy, and I don't (for the past months).
It's just so complex

Yep, you must be right.
I'll look for this book you're talking about.
