For me the problem with drinking is that it amplifies all of who I am and not really any of who I want to be. I'm a happy kind person so it makes me happier and kinder which is fine, but then I'm also a very lazy person so it just turns me into the worst junk food eating couch potato. Not to mention the hangovers give me the worst anxiety, waking up in the middle of the night heart racing feeling like I'm on the brink of death. Alcohol tastes good and feels fun but it's just not worth the tradeoffs imo. Maybe when I'm a much older man I'll enjoy it a bit more regularly
