Interesting. My alcohol use has been becoming less and less as I get older. I love a nice wine or good beer, but my nights of going out partying are way behind me.
I'm the same -- at the ripe age of 28, I had two nice beers with dinner the other night and woke up with a headache.
I can barely handle it anymore; which is arguably a good thing. I still enjoy a good beer, but other than that, have basically lost the taste for all other alcohol.
It took me a worryingly long time to work out that 1 cider per night over a week or 2 of summer was why I felt terrible the day after. I suspect this has more to do with the stupidly high sugar content.
I've found my tastes for scotch are directly correlated to how I'm feeling about life at the moment. Like, it's amazing: generally worried about work, scotch tastes great. Feeling upbeat and thinking of future projects? I get frustrated that there isn't more available in the "uppers" category for consciousness adjustment.
