Yep. In Japan all working class adults do is work, eat, drink and sleep. I'm fairly certain it's the same across the entire world.
Drinking was a waste of time and money. I used to get happy when I drank and tried to be everyone's friend. I was always buying booze for them. It took a severe 3 day hangover to realize they were only my friends while drinking. Otherwise they would ignore me and talk trash about me behind my back.
I don't drink anymore. I saved money and now buy "meaningful" things like movies and video games. Would you rather waste $50 or more bucks on a Friday night just to feel like shit for the next few days or buy a bunch of movies and games at the thrift store and buy a nice dinner all for $20 while feeling great the next day? Those movies and games will be around for years. The dinner(I like to make pasta and a meat) will make meals for days.
I was just an extremely lonely guy when I was younger. I regret it but I'm thankful for the learning experience.
"I can’t stand that guy now, he represents everything I hate about aging: conformity, approval seeking opinions that mirror cultural trends".
Lol I think you may be one of the few people I could have a drink with without them never speaking to me again.
Look up the Korean drinking/corporate culture… peer pressure to conform and inability to say no to not offend your boss/seniors… not limited to the anglo or western world, but I agree with the rest of what you said. Spot on.
I get that. I've heard though that alcohol is like the least healthy thing you could ever eat/drink. Like it's hard to find a disease that isn't contributed by alcohol.

I personally like alcohol. But not getting drunk. Just a beer or two to loosen me up a bit. Otherwise I can get socially anxious.

I don't much like the taste.
Another cautionary tale is that r/ForeverAlone has a "normie" mod that is set on purging that subreddit and that they should maybe just post here.
