Well the answer to your original question is "most people sleep worse, live worse lives, and die earlier if they frequently get drunk." Even if you're somehow different, you're an edge case. Either way, your comment reads like that of a teenager trying to be edgy and not that of a mature adult.

I'm a 67 year-old adult. And I don't think I'm an edge case. Most of the adults I know in the UK drink a lot. How old are you, may I ask?

  I'm in the UK, and most of the adults I know drink very, very little, and many drink no alcohol at all. You obviously move in different circles. And the grandparent comment said: >> ... your comment reads like that of a teenager trying to be edgy and not that of a mature adult. It doesn't matter that you're 67 ... your comment still sounds like that of a teenager trying to be edgy. You might, of course, regard that as a compliment -- in a sense you're staying young at heart and in attitude.

      I'm a 60-year-old adult, and I work with teenagers in education. So I have experience of teenagers. I'm a director of a company that produces equipment that does the maritime equivalent of Air Traffic Control, so I have experience of both civilian and military adults. And most of the adults I know drink very little, including this last Sunday. Most people I know have decided that getting drunk is less fun than staying sober. As I say, we clearly move in different circles. I'm not denying your experience, I'm just providing balance.

        I am 40, and drank 2 pints, one of Suffolk County and Old Growler respectively (both from the excellent Nethergate Brewery). It was truly a wild night for me.
