I'm 34, I used alcohol for "fun" from 19 to 29. Ended up quitting because of mental health issues. I went through a rough year after quitting, lost most of the friends I had, and started over. Now, all of my friends do other things for fun: hiking, kite surfing, traveling, dancing, biking, kayaking, paragliding... to be honest, a night out drinking sounds boring as hell to me. My advice: quit drinking, deal with the boredom for awhile, find new friends, and do it sooner rather than later, there's a lot of fun out in the world that you're missing out on by just drinking all the time. Also, I now suffer from permanent health issues due to my past drinking. I only drank socially, and I quit at 29! Don't believe the myth that alcohol isn't harmful. That's a recipe for having less fun in the future.
