Is your life gonna be any different/better or are you gonna be in the same position you're in now. If the answer is the latter then it's quite likely by then not only will you be drinking more but you'll find it harder to stop and have less insight into what it's doing to your life.

See, this is exactly what I mean - you've immediately taken a very negative position on whatever my alcohol consumption is. You're also working on the assumption that when I get drunk I don't
want to deaden my senses. I find it enjoyable, once or maybe twice a week, to turn myself into a blathering retard. I'm not violent when I'm drunk, and I don't put anyone else in any danger, and I really don't see that as a problem. At the risk of being immodest, there's a lot of fairly sharp people that drink precisely because they need an escape from the incessant dirge of brain function.
What I would be doing if I wasn't drinking is reading while listening to records or wasting my life on the fucking internet. As it is, I think drinking's definitely an improvement on the latter.

Of course if you were British none of this would matter because here alcoholism is expected with some forward thinking youth starting around the ages of 8 and a fresh puddle of puke to greet you at least once on every street you walk through.
