Any time I get resentful about not being able to drink and enjoy it like 'normies', I remind myself that I never really drank like that in the first place.
I didn't casually sip a margarita on the beach while vacationing down south - I guzzled two at a time and kept running back to the bar for more (in between trips to the bathroom). I didn't enjoy a cold one while sitting in front of a roaring campfire while up north. I downed a two-four while setting up camp and struggled to properly erect a tent.
Etc.
Now it's easy for me to NOT romantacize alcohol, because stopping to think about it for more than a millisecond I can recall that I was NEVER a normal drinker. There was nothing 'romantic' about how it went down for me.
