I drank 20 years away...my body started telling me in no uncertain terms that it could NOT handle it anymore. I listened ten years ago and stopped drinking hard liquor...drank white wine for a few years and again...the body said nuh-uh. I am quite happy to not want or need it anymore. Thank you body

It pretty much lost its allure for me when I was about 25. Sore head empty wallet. What was the point of that.
Northwest · M
I am strictly a wine, paired with food, kind of guy. I've Kavanaugh'ed back in the day, minus the sexual assault.

My dad used to have a drink like everyday but when he reached his late fourties he started doing it weekends only

Last time I had a couple of drinks it just made me feel tired and what's the use in that?
Rhonda · F
@cherokeepatti yes, as a man commented above, the fun factor goes.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Rhonda I want more energy at this stage in my life.
JustNik · 51-55, F
I still like my drink, I’m just unwilling to get drunk anymore. Don’t have time to feel that crappy the next day. LOL
Rambler · M
Very little now. It felt good, once upon a time, but I can’t stand the aftermath anymore. One is my limit, and not often.
Fernie · F
My body rejects alcohol these days...I'm listening to it
GeniUs · 56-60, M
I drink more and enjoy it more but it's time to go on the wagon for a few weeks.
softspokenman · M
Less. I enjoy sipping Bourbon in moderation 🥃
bijouxbroussard · F
@softspokenman That’s my drink of choice, [b]maybe[/b] once or twice a month. One drink, only.

A quit being a drunk at age 21. Rarely touch the stuff at all.
DragonFruit · 61-69, M
I don’t drink anywhere near as much as I did when I was in my late 20s.
okaybut · 56-60, M
No way as much...my body cannot handle it the same way. I also find that I cannot get "fun drunk" the same way. I keep too much control now.
fdurst · 56-60, M
@Rhonda I stopped completely for about 5 years (during my 30s). Any tolerance I had developed pretty much disappeared. Upon resuming, I did not pursue the binges as I once had, which means my tolerance has not increased. I also do not drink during the week, only weekends. Thus when i do have a few drinks, I have a really great time.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
I was never that much of a drinker even when I was in university but yes I have reduced my consumption of alcohol since then.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
I know you said over 40 but I've never really drank. I've tried to get into it. Things just don't taste good to me. 😐
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
OK I’ll send my answer in 12 years time😂
SW-User
I went to rehab at 41 and not drunk since.... it wasn't true for me my consumption continued to increase
SW-User
Unfortunately, the other direction.
Rhonda · F
@SW-User do you enjoy it though?
SW-User
@Rhonda Oh, too much, yes. Time to cut back big time, though.
bijouxbroussard · F
I definitely drink much less than I did. And I don’t drink the sugary drinks I used to love like Kahlua, Bailey, ciders, sweet wines, etc.
Rhonda · F
@bijouxbroussard same here, I don't drink those sugary drinks or sweet drinks.
softspokenman · M
TheShanachie · 61-69, M
One to 2 high quality beers or a couple of glasses of dry wine and I am done, relaxation
SW-User
I went to rehab when I was 41 not drunk since fortunately.
Fernie · F
@SW-User Good for you!!!!!
approachingmyexpirationdate · 61-69, M
I quit drinking years ago when I realized I liked it way too much.
Zaphod42 · 46-50, M
I lost interest in drinking a few years ago.
Rhonda · F
Replying to my own question, instead of you all. I was a heavy drinker in my 20s and 30s. Now I hardly enjoy a drink and when I have a night out I force it down. A few others in my age group say the same.
Ironicman · 56-60, M
I still have it in me to stack them up but I simply can't deal with it the next day. So its always in moderation nowdays, a glass of wine with a meal or when cooking!
SW-User
No I only have a drink if out having a meal or very occasionally I call in to a pub for a couple
zeeva70 · F
When I was younger, I would drink liquor and beer and now it's sweet wines. Still have a ways to go, I guess.
SW-User
I was never a big drinker even when I was younger but definitely even less now.
antonioio · 70-79, M
As a young person I find of got drunk and swore never again and now I hardly ever drink 😊
TryingSW45 · 46-50, M
I enjoy a drink - when younger I boozed and now I just drink
SW-User
I drink more.. but not much more. Not to excess.
Noworries72 · 51-55, M
That depends on why you drink, I guess.

😂@SW-User not that easy
I still like it.
Chevy454 · 46-50, M
Way more!!
lubovont · 70-79, M
I agree
bijouxbroussard · F
I [b]know[/b] I don’t drink as much as I did when I was younger. For one thing I can’t manage the sugar in some liquor now. For another, I don’t bounce back from hangovers as readily as I used to. So generally now it’s just one drink.

I had to pack it in 5 years ago Dr's Orders
