I feel I’m missing out by not being a top scientist doing a stint on the international space station or in my younger days as a premier league football star. I can’t do much about either of these apart from accepting it won’t happen. It also won’t happen that I’d drink again without relapsing (coming up on two years sober but zero complacency).
And we don’t know what’s going on with another person. They might seem to be enjoying a quick beer, but they might be a raving alcoholic with liver problems. Anyone posting here will be far better off not drinking,
