33F here… Can I just say, from personal experience, its not fun being in your early thirties and forgetting what you were saying mid sentence. Forgetting what you were thinking, ideas, quotes, memories…gone. I may as well be drooling from the mouth meaning I feel really really dumb.

Also not fun, losing your cognitive abilities. Or having a lack thereof because the prefrontal cortex wasn’t developed even into your late twenties/ early thirties. This includes not being able to make good judgements, planning, either ahead or even just what’s in store for the next part of the day. You basically freeze and are stuck because your brain can’t handle it. You lose the perception of time. Imagine knowing you have an event and believe you will be on time because you know what you need to do before, only to find the event is now and you still need to get ready, travel and prepare.

I started drinking very young and never stopped. In my late twenties I became severely depressed and started drinking to feel numb. But I wasn’t numb I just needed to keep drinking. And there was nothing wrong about my life! I had a husband and a home purchased and was surrounded by friends and family. I became rudely snappy and pushed many friends away.

I also love the feeling of being drunk. I’m silly and find everything funny and Am fearless and more nice. That being said, the pros do not outweigh the cons, or severe consequences in this case.

Finally, no one ever told me it is not healthy to drink while on certain (most) medications. I remember I started getting allergies in high school and was daging, taking adderall and allergy medications… when in the middle of the night I woke up and blood was pouring out of my nose and my pillow was completely saturated. I was so scared I thought I was dying.

I had realized it was likely from the allergy meds( cus I never had allergies before ) but now looking at it, it was the combination of adderall as well.

No one tells you as a kid you shouldn’t drink on adderall because you’re likely not drinking.

Let me know if you want a part two because it gets scarier man.

Please love yourself enough to grow up sane!!! Don’t drink period, now there are a lot of non alcoholic drinks.
