1ºFor the most part, I gave up drinking at age 26. I have a drink very rarely on a night out. I think my last one was sometime in 2019. I don’t hold moral judgements against drinking. I just didn’t feel well the next day….even after just one drink, so I gave it up. I don’t smoke pot, either….so, I’m really boring! I’d much prefer a Diet Coke or a club soda with lime. I found my 40’s to be a bit difficult as far as a social life. The ‘mom-life wine-culture’ is strong. As I look back on it, though…I don’t think I missed that much. I was the mom who held lots of sleepovers and my house was the teen hangout. I enjoyed that a lot.
