Do you need alcohol to have a good time?

I don't drink alcohol, I don't need alcohol to have a good time. However, when I used to drink I thought drinking helped me to have a good time.

I don't remember when the last time I consumed alcohol. I used to drink it once a week when I was single but after marriage I have left it. I don't need it to enjoy.

I'm not much of a drinker these days. Used to drink often in my 20s, but in my 30s I've sort of given it up. Though I do drink on rare occasions, but usually I smoke marijuana instead. If I'm with a group of friends I might have a few, or might smoke instead, depends. If I drink, I do enjoy myself, but I don't like to get drunk and deal with the hangover later. Last time I had a hangover, the next day I felt like I was sick all day. So I drink in moderation if I do happen to drink.

I drink alcohol in weekends with my friends with chitchat it gives some refreshment to me

@krishatnet Yes, consuming alcohol on the weekend and enjoying it with friends is helpful for your mental health as it relieves stress. I used to be like this when I was unmarried and used to live far from my home, in a different city.

Nah, not at all. I don’t even drink like that. For me, once there’s good music, small food, and the right people, then I would relate to that vibe and have a good time automatically. I’ve gone to parties where everyone was drinking like fish, and I was just sipping malt and laughing all day. It’s all about mood, and I do not see alcohol as a key to happiness.
