Never had issues. I thought I explained in the post that I did it as a challenge to not need the "liquid courage" to do all the fun stuff when partying with friends. I guess that is an issue, but would be a confidence issue... not an alcohol one. I have plenty of friends who drink socially, have been drunk every so often and are in their 30s. I don't think any of them have drinking problems. You mention a couple times that there is something missing from the story but I wonder if you read the post? My story explains that I did it as a challenge. To not need the social support of drinking, so I can experience a party at any time... without alcohol. My point was not to say alcohol is bad for everybody or that if you drink you have a problem... again, I was speaking about people "partying" ie drinking 4+ drinks. If you drink in moderation or have a glass of wine here or there, then the post wasn't addressing your lifestyle.
