Yeah, I rarely am awake past midnight and while I realize that this has at least something to do with my age, I am a bit in awe that it used to just be normal for me in college to be awake once the sun came up the following day. This was normally followed by a two day hangover as well. For me, I still like drinking, but because I know the consequences are going to be increasingly extreme the older than I get, I start to get "the fear" right around my 6th. That seems to be my hangover threshold. My body can process 6 no problem, it would be like I had nothing at all, but 6 normally leads to 10 and I just throw in the towel and go nuts at that point. The hangovers are so bad that I normally write off drinking for a week or so at that point but I think that in the end that it probably wouldn't be a terrible idea for me to just not drink at all anymore. It just doesn't seem worth it. I wish that some of the people I knew had other activities but in the expat community that is basically all anyone ever does.
