"Without alcohol, I feel tired and would prefer to stay in at night on a Friday for example and have a good nights sleep."
Would that be an unhealthy “normal” thing to do even on a daily basis?
Compare that to being messed up, bruised up, wondering what really happened last night, awakening behind bars, awakening in a flood of drying vomit with a major headache and on and on. Fun stuff!?
My response back when would have been “NOT ME” and the old timers, being correct would respond, YET.
Read these pages and see how alcohol is not so nice, it’s Powerful, Cunning and Baffling for a reason.
Most here cannot drink in safety.
BE WELL
