I'm 41 and don't seem to have 'matured out of it'...
I did see my own father act pretty alcoholically for many years and quit drinking for many years and now in his later years occasionally has a beer or two and hasn't allowed that to slide into anything awful for the past 10 years I've been aware of him sometimes having a beer or two. His life back then was very different to his life now, so maybe there is something to it....
on the other hand, I know personally several people around the tables who had essentially the same story as you're offering here but then - suddenly and out of the blue - things were way worse than ever before and their lives were in shambles.
Why did you decide to pick up again?
After 16 years of living without alcohol - what was the point?
And, is the addition of a few beers here and there providing you with a value that is rich enough to risk it?
Just wondering.
