I don't know the real reason, but I know that when I was in high school, and
even in college, when I drank, I was VERY irresponsible. This included drink
so much I would pass out, drinking and driving, and just doing some really
stupid things. Now that I am older, I still drink, but no longer drink to
excess and no long do things quite as stupid. I have been drinking since I
was 8 years old (my first beer was a warm corona with no lime) and I can say,
without a doubt, that I can enjoy a drink much more now than my younger days.
