> Nowadays I never drink alcohol in social situations but in my (much) younger years I would drink in social situations if given the chance and I didn't have to drive.
This reminds me of something from highschool: One day a teacher had an unexpected absence, and didn't leave any sort of lesson plan for our substitute teacher. The substitute was somewhere around 22, give or take a year, so surprisingly close to our own ages compared to teachers we were used to, and somehow the whole class ended up with her talking about her life in those years between our ages, with plenty of questions from us.
One of the questions was about how much she drank, since she was legal age, and her answer surprised some of us: Once she turned 21, she almost completely stopped. At least for her all of the draw was in it being forbidden, and now that she could buy it whenever she wanted she just didn't care anymore.
Kinda stuck in the back of my mind and I never started.
