Alcoholism is progressive and gets nothing but worse over time. I could drink like a madman in my 20's and would have little more than an annoying hangover in the morning, which evolved into all day hangovers, then into horrible anxiety and feeling like garbage for days, to debilitating panic attacks and truly feeling what hell on earth is. Not to mention the numerous ER/doc/urgent care visits because of alcohol.
Quit while you are ahead so to speak, it gets nothing but worse, a LOT worse,...
