I think that plays into the "terminal uniqueness" concept that just about all of us suffer from as alcoholics, no matter how old we are. It doesn't really matter how old you are, your addiction will come up with some reason why you should keep drinking, right?
To the OP - I started drinking occasionally around age 15 or so and was a daily drinker by age 18. I finally quit for good when I was 42 so that's about 8760 consecutive days of drinking. And it was definitely not "too late" to quit...it was the best decision I've ever made.
