As a former heavy drinker I can guarantee you that you're not missing on anything worth experiencing, specially given how you're exposing yourself to open a can of worms that you might regret for the rest of your days.

Over the years I've met many people (hundreds) that live miserable and painful lives because of alcohol, it's a very normalized addiction in most societies and it's extremely hard to stop drinking once you start, it's also extremely likely that you become a recurrent drinker when you start because liquor is cheap and easy dopamine in unnatural doses that your brain is not ready to handle. And you might think that you won't become a heavy drinker but you must acknowledge that everyone that suffers from alcoholism started somewhere, and they likely never had someone warning them about the problems like I'm doing.

The reason I decided to stop it and cut it entirely before it became a worse problem was that I see alcohol, as many other vices that we're exposed throughout our lives, as another means of control; to deprive people of their health and their autonomy is the best way to ensure they remain docile and accept the state of affairs imposed onto them by tyrants while making profits off it. I reached the conclusion that a society that normalizes substance usage or abuse at all and weaponizes hedonism is not a functional society, and must be fought back at any cost.
