I so hard relate to this. So many blurry moments from the past, that now I cringe at and am glad that my drinking has dulled to drinks only around friends and at a maximum level that leaves me largely sober or at worst, slightly tipsy. Neither of my kids (who are both over 21) really drink, and instead, they have more thoughtful lives than perhaps I did at that age. Or maybe I shouldn't judge my past self, but just acknowledge that it was fun in its own way. I make different choices now for multiple dimensions of health.
