>So wine is a great equalizer. Rich dumb people are paying a lot of money to be stupider. Literally.
This is hyperbole. There is a wide world of difference between someone who enjoys a 6 pack a week and the alcoholic who downs a fifth of whiskey a day. Alcohol's ill effects are a J-Shaped curve that increase exponentially after 20 drinks a week, but that's a lot of booze. One can consume in moderation with almost no consequence.
Alcohol is borrowed happines from the future.
You are trading +1 happiness now for -2 sadness tomorrow morning.
The more you age the more the hangover gets worse.
All those neurons lost. It's just better to focus on other things that make you happy that actually have compound effect instead of compound debt.
By the way, try to have a Mango smoothie or some great non-alcholic beverage next time you go out. It's actually very nice!
You can drink without hangovers if you exercise moderation and stay hydrated. The biggest mistake people make is seriously overdoing it. It doesn't have to be binge drinking or sobriety. Though, I do agree with you about getting smoothies when you go out. Alcohol is outrageously overpriced and I don't enjoy most bars anyway.
