There are many paths to understanding yourself better and changing your life for the better. I quit trying to be an alcoholic somewhere between 23 and 24 -- finally understood that (1) I am not into it at all, (2) I don't get epiphanies from drinking and (3) the physical after-effects are not worth the hassle. But I have heard from other people that they get unique perspectives on their lives while drunk so hey, maybe it's worth the liver damage for them? I personally don't respect drunkards but I try my best to judge less. We're all screwed up one way or another and it takes a lifetime to repair damage that we're practically born with (various character traits). We call cope how we can. To me risking life-time addiction and damaging a vital organ is not worth it but apparently to many it is.
