      If it helps,

      Think of alcohol as a beverage which gives men a yeast infection in the abdominal area.

      AKA -- a hangover / beer belly.

      How manly is that?

                                Absoluely no way. I love drinking. I'm scottish though so I can hold my own. I'd quit on my family before I quit booze.

                                Life is incredibly boring and people are too much to deal with unless you have booze. I quit most vices years ago now it's booze and woman.

                                You can never fully trust a man that doesn't drink

                                  Im curious bud. For you, the day after drinking, you dont feel down and out? Feeling of doom and gloom,. depression, anxiety, anything like that?

                                  Scottish people dont get hangovers?

                                    Yes they are and especially as you get older.. Don't drink the hard stuff stick with red wine if you relapse.. Hard liquor can get you in trouble in a hurry and spot your liver.

                                    Cut it off after a few full glasses of vino that's what I do.. Avoid hangovers that way and it's actually healthy.. Still catch the buzzes on empty stomach. Eat dinner after and drink alot of water before bed time.. You'll feel golden the next morning..

                                    That's what's I do.. Been doing that for 20 years and am good to go today.. Everything in life is moderation and control if you wanna survive and last....

                                      We can. I drink mostly whiskey, some craft beer and a little white wine. I have a very high tolerance though. There are days I overdue it and feel like shit the next day but no anxiety or depression. I get that from being sober actually lol.

                                      I workout a lot , lift 4 days a week and some cardio/hike here and there so it "flushes it out" I guess? I know people who smoke chronic and are perfectly happy with that. I'm always completely and utterly fascinated by people I know who don't drink.

                                      Like what do you do at night on the weekend at the bar/club/concerts? Drink water and tea? How is that even possible? I love the way it tastes, way it makes me feel, the way it makes people social and more open and fun, bad decisions of course ;-)

                                      I know people that are perfectly ok going home, watching tv (kill me please), reading books (huh?) and just eating food and going to bed. I've tried that and it makes me near suicidal (Im not joking, massive wave of depression hits instantly). I can't live some shit boring life and die. I want to experience it all, and booze is a part of that with nightlife. I'll never know another way and I love my life.

                                      I've been at it at over 20 years, so it's just all I know I guess.

                                      It may not be for you. I find "normal" life so fuggin boring I want to die. People talking about their lawns, shit sipper kids, cars, roof, investments, fuggin yoga classes. It makes me want to rip my eyes out.

                                      It might just not be for you? Also, hydrate and eat plenty before and before going to bed if you can manage. Cardio, even light walking def helps the next day.

                                        Depends on person. Red Wine is the only thing I can't drink. I start getting hot and flush in my face and two glasses, the next day I'm so hungover. There is some non-active ingredient that doesn't sit well. I can drink a 1/2 fifth of whiskey easy and lift for 2 hours the next day.

                                                I'm opposite of Asian but charcoal filtered booze like black Velvet do the same thing.
                                                It's some inactive ingredient

                                                  hard liquor is too hard to quit completely

                                                  especially a premium rum

                                                    I drink premium bourbon .

                                                    Even premium rum is only $30 bucks max per fifth.

                                                    You like dark or light?

                                                        Judging by this, I'm guessing your sobriety experiment is over?
