There's actually a lot you can lose by doing it. And sometimes stuff that you can't remember or be forgiven for. 

If you are using it to "feel better" it's really just masking your feelings/emotions for the time being not really confronting them. As someone who drinks and am working on recovery, I had to learn the difference between drinking to feel better and socially drinking or having one every once in a while.

It shouldn't be "damn today sucked, time to get fucked up!"

Things usually get worse when drunk, at least for me

Losing control and doing stuff that you'll regret in the morning is REAL BAD, even more when you're feeling down.

Also hangovers are a bitch

I also wanted to point out I didn't mean it in a condescending way. I was just saying I fucked up numerous times and I'm trying to work on it myself. 

Yeah man much love and positivity your way bro. 

The inevitable hangover the next day makes not worthwhile for me. Wasting a whole day sick and miserable just isn't appealing and doesn't help me feel better

A year ago a loved one was in the hospital with seizures and insanely high blood pressure from alcohol withdrawal, and at the age of 30.  I'd just echo Jen and say be careful.  A lot of times you don't know the toll alcohol is taking on your body especially when it's a consistent fall back crutch.

I’ve got one of my closest friends going through liver failure at the age of 27, so my best advice is you’re a grown man and you’ll do what you want but moderation is the key. It’s what I always tried telling him, it’s okay to have a drink or two to decompress at the end of a rough day but think of the long term effects overindulging can have on your body. We only get one life so try to appreciate it no matter how rough things get. 

I'm just going to say much love and positivity. Whatever demon(s) you are facing, you will conquer them. 

I've seen people at their low points around where I live, I feel so bad for them. Yet I get woken in early hours from the drunken arguments 

Well I came in here expecting something light hearted and this wasn’t expected.

I love to drink. It’s likely verging on a problem/being a high functioning alcoholic. 
 

ibe also seen the terrible side of it. Had a mom who got shitfaced every day and died when she was 40. I don’t want to be that person. I solve all my problems sober.

but - I do enjoy a beer or 2 every evening. Even more on a Saturday.
