I used to drink every weekend. I think since the pandemic started I’ve been drunk maybe 4 or 5 times in a 9 month span. It’s fun but the hangovers just aren’t worth it anymore. My body isn’t 18 anymore.

It's funny when I was in my mid-20's an older coworker told me about the second day phenomenon when you get older. He said you'll get to a point where the day after getting blasted is bad, but then the second day after is actually worse.
I chalked it up to old wives tale, but then as soon as I hit thirty I started to experience it first hand. It's like you push through the next day after drinking, but then you kind of crash after work the next day, sleep, and wake up a pile of broken bones the second day.
It's not so much alertness, but the physical depletion that hits on day 2. Maybe it's partially psychological as you're brain is expecting to be "good to go" two days after drinking and then is shocked by still being ****?
