> You have tried being teporarily sober, but you have not truly seen alcohol culture from outside. I used not to be a drinker (not total teetotaler, but would never drink when out) well into my 30s. Now I do drink. I much prefer drinking. I do think that "alcohol culture" means different things to different people in different places and at different ages. To generalize massively, I don't think much of the stereotypical way way 19yos from the UK drink when in Ibiza. But I do enjoy 4 or 5 cocktails or whiskys in a good bar (which for me isn't one with loud music incidentally) with good company.
