Comment on I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?

I’m 40, and I maybe have 2 drinks a month. Used to be able to drink a lot more. And I consider this change a good thing. As far as I can tell it’s normal.

I’m not sure its a good thing. I’m in the same boat and all I can think is my liver is not operating as efficiently as it used to. And since its not, then drinking 2 beers is prob as harmful to a half operating liver as 4 beers would be to a fully operational one? But thats not based on any scientific investigation, just my gut (pardon the pun).

Oh, I mean it’s a good thing that I don’t try and force myself to party like I did in my 20s. I prefer this quieter lifestyle. I am sure you are 100% correct: everything deteriorates with age, and our livers are not exempted from that rule. All the more reason to drink less.

Agree on the partying thing, although I had a night out in Sept with my other 40 something school friends and it was the best. But was probably the best because its a rare occurrence that we’re all together and can go out!
