I haven't touched it to speak of in 30 years.
I started drinking in college and within a year or two was binge drinking once in a while. Blackouts and thinking I got home by magic a few times. We had a Christmas party at work 6 months after I graduated college and I out-drank the department alcoholic. Trying to carry on work that day while partying was interesting. My brother had a graduation party with lots of beer which ended up getting busted by the cops because we were too rowdy. I was worried that the cops were going to shoot me because I was going after a starter pistol in the back of my car or that I would be in jail for having my brother's underage friends at the party. So that was pretty much the end of the drinking. Just as well, since my father was an abusive alcoholic that I didn't want to be like.
Since then I've very rarely had a drink. the last couple times I remember are a glass of champagne in a Paris nightclub and a couple of O'Douls, which I ended up getting slightly buzzed because they really are something like 1% alcohol.
I don't miss the drinking.
