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 have a strong fear of using substances that affect my ability to do logical reasoning and make decisions of my own accord, so I don’t ever want to drink.
I’m young so I’m still at a reasonable age to not drink, but I did have a shot once among family and friends and it only gave me a massive migraine and a sore throat so it wasn’t a very positive experience.
