I used to like drinking but not anymore?

Question

I used to love drinking!! I'm 25... now I just have one drink and I am ready to quit. Why? Its weird, its not like I'm old... Its like I prefer to be sober than buzzed. I don't get it? Maybe being in love has a lot to do with it? Thanks

Answer 1

It is totally normal to feel that way! I used to love drinking especially on the weekends!! I kind of out grew it! Thank God, cause really it was only wasting my money and making me act like a fool!!

Answer 2

maybe you just realized how lame drinking was in the first place?

Answer 3

A lot of people drink when theyre young because its a social thing, like at parties and such.  If you are still going to social outings where drinking is happening, then maybe its just a phase in your life.  We change everyday.

Answer 4

I feel the same way and I'm 27. Drinking just doesn't seem fun anymore

Answer 5

Drinking is not all it is chalked up to be. You are getting wiser. alcohol is not the best thing for the body as many researchers will tell you. It is good that you don't feel like getting drunk all the time, you have gone past the I -am -21- and- can- drink- ya- for -me stage, into I -can- see -beyond-the -bottom- of- the -glass stage, great job!

Answer 6

I am proud for you!!! You DONT need drinks to have fun!!

Answer 7

Your not old but your growing up. Not a bad thing.

Answer 8

Because you've outgrown the childish mentality

Answer 9

Don't try to get interested again in drinking. It will only get you in trouble some time or another. I used to drink, never got drunk but BOY did I get sick, after passing out one time I limited my drinks to two if we went out dancing, one when we got there and one before we left which was as a rule 3-4 hours later. I still enjoy a glass  of wine with a meal but not that often.  The beginning of this post was back when I was 19 and am now pushing 83, and I never missed it. Remember the alcoholic started with one drink.

Good for you!
