Let me begin by saying, I drink very rarely; few times a year.
When I drink, i get the feeling that my brain in running on powersaving mode; only the most basic functions are operational. It’s a fun feeling when I’m drinking, but I can’t imagine doing that regularly.
I’m not sure if this constitutes as bragging but I am proud of the fact that I can recall information quite well, and any activity which hinders this is not to my liking. The hangover is also bad, where the brain is slow for the next entire day.
I want to know the community thinks about drinking and how it effects/doesn’t affects their work and life and how they get around it. Any alternatives and tips?


I’m in this boat.
I don’t drink a beer every day, but probably 2-3 times a week, I crack one while making dinner.
Not for any buzz, just because I genuinely enjoy the taste.
If I’m out, it’s fine, and it also happens that I don’t drink any for a couple of weeks because I need to be able to drive the kids somewhere.
I rarely ever party and get drunk. At most a couple of times a year.
