I started going to parties when I was about 16 or 17 and only had one, maybe two drinks maximum. Once I turned 18 and started going out, I had the occasional big night but I have never been a big drinker. I could count on one hand the number of times I have drank to excess - something which in hindsight, I didn't enjoy.
Now, I rarely drink. It's a waste of money, brain cells and isn't worth the trouble it can cause. People nearly fall over when I tell them I don't drink, which is a reflection of the drinking culture amongst the youth of today.
I love being able to walk out of a pub or club, knowing exactly what I said and did that night, knowing my wallet still has the money in it I started with at the beginning of the night and being able to jump into my car and drive everyone home. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends who always offer money for the service, although I rarely accept.
Working behind the bar at a pub also helps. Even though I'm working, I still get to see everyone, I don't wake up the next morning with a throbbing headache and my wallet has more money in it than when I started.
