I was never one to get drunk. I got really sh1t faced when I was 16yrs old, that was a learning experience. Now I just drink mixed drinks every once and awhile, but I never get drunk.

Well many people grow to the point you've come to. I myself reached it several years ago (i'm 25 now). From the age of 16 to about 19-20 whenever I'd drink (not that often, but as often as most of my friends) moderation was something I didn't adhere to. I would get thoroughly trashed. Rarely would I vomit that night, but as sure as the sun rising I'd spend a portion of the next day (sometimes the entire day) recovering. I never did anything dumb while drunk or embarassed myself (beyond vomitting of course and the like), but the hangovers just became too much.

In recent years I drink with much greater frequency but I've not been "drunk" in a good long time. Legally yes, but incoherent hell no. My hangovers are worse in recent years which has put a serious stop to alcohol ingestion, but additionally I just don't really enjoy the feeling of a room spinning anymore like I used to. I've become a social drinker as opposed to a social boozer :)

Give or take I can now reasonably estimate at what point another beer is going to trigger real pain the next day and then it's just time to stop.

So your philosophy is to hit on the ugly ones while they temporarily look good? ;)
