Drinking when you’re nearly 30 isn’t really worth it man

Then why not just drink something else lol? Most people I've talked to seem to think most alcoholic drinks taste like shit
I will drink things that have a very small amount of alcohol in them from time to time (lemon lime and bitters, etc)
Sure is. I've done both and enjoy both for different reasons. No reason for some to act holier than thou.
Yeah, if you can put them away, day after drinking is terrible in your thirties. There are worse hangovers but it's definitely something i avoid. Lightweights are okay but I put down about 10 before I'm properly fucked and the next day is a nightmare
I really don't know how i could drink as much as i did in my teens and early twenties. After a couple of really really really bad hangovers on my 30s I almost stopped drinking altogether. Now I only have beers here and there but no more than 4 or so.
I'm 36. I drink quite a bit, but I'm very careful about what I drink. Low calorie alcohol like shochu or highballs. No sugar.
I drink plenty and don't get hangovers. I'm able to perform at work the next day. *shrug*

I drink often. It's best to just try and get a buzz. I'm now 32 and hangovers are the worst. Ugh
Got shitfaced two days ago and a friend told me I threw up in the woman toilet at a 24 hours Chinese food place and passed out on a chair.
Woke up the next day at our hotel room and feel ok, I even went for a run in the afternoon.
At least for me, as long as I dont do mixed drinks and keep having water between drinks things should be fine the next day..

But that doesnt make any sense. Body still needs water, science says human's body contains 80 percents water. If you are stranded on a isolated island, you will be quicker to die if your body is lack of water than of food
I'm 30 and haven't felt the need or desire to get piss drunk in many years. That shit got old by my early 20s.
I still enjoy a recreation drink or two occasionally though.

Drinking responsibly isn't difficult. You need to alter your drinking habits as you age and your body changes.It's really not that difficult to not get a hangover. Make sure you're well fed and drink plenty of water while out drinking.
if you're getting a hangover pretty much every time you drink now, then you're seriously fucking up.

I have one a month. Really enjoy it when I have it. If you're drinking to get drunk you might want to rethink your choices.
I rarely get bad hangovers. I do try to limit myself, though. Mostly because I have a tendency to lose my memories the next day whenever I have more than a few drinks. It sucks knowing that I was having fun with friends, and not being able to remember much of it.
about a week ago, a bunch of us went to an sf giants day game. i had a few drinks in the morning, but by 1pm i had a huge headache. also didn't help that it was hot as fuck. :(
I've been getting debilitating hangovers since my early 20's. Only one thing prevents it. Next time you go out make sure you have a jug of pedialyte at your place before you go. Drink half of the container before bed and the other in the morning. It replenishes everything you lose while drinking. Just water won't cut it because you still need electrolytes.
More water, eat food with your drinking, slow and steady rather than pounding fast... it's livable for me, just turned 40. I don't go wild but just drink steadily to get a buzz. Also, stick to liquor with sugar-free mixers like tonic water or diet soda. The hangover anxiety DOES suck and I get it too. I don't have a solution for it. If I don't have to go anywhere the next day a weak morning drink helps.
I'm the opposite, and I'm ashamed lol. Younger me could put down some good quality IPAs and be ok. I'd be drunk no doubt, but I could hang for a long time and keep drinking. Now, even "low" ABV IPAs kick my ass. I still have a great time, but I can hang very long. As a result I've downgraded to light beers like Bud Light. I'm sacrificing quality, but I can hold a buzz for longer on them without tipping over the edge. I'm there to be social, so if I can hold a long buzz with cheap beer I'll prioritize that.
However I can still hold my liquor well.
I think sober people are more hollow and uptight than the drinkers. But hey, to each their own.
Intermittent fasting is the real solution here. I've turned into a total lightweight when every time I drink it's usually accompanying the first meal I've had the entire day.
I used to need 6-8 beers to get a good buzz going, but since my drinking has been almost exclusively with my first meal, one or two is enough for me. I'm saving money and haven't had a hangover.

Yep, Japan has lots of delicious low calorie beverages and sugar-free chuhi and stuff.
I just turned 40 recently and although I do kind of feel I get hangovers more easily, it's usually just a (minor) headache. Nothing that puts me out of commission for an entire day.
I'm jealous of people who come in here saying drinking at all isn't worth it. It's actually a great mentality to have. While the liver is resilient, it will develop damage over a certain amount of time. You can say you only drink 2-3 times a week, but that's enough to sneak up on you over x amount of time. It happened to me and plenty of others. If you can avoid it, do so. It's not something you NEED. It will only hurt you in the long run if you keep it up.
Young people dying from liver disease(25-34) has actually increased significantly over the past couple of decades. Be cautious.
