Drinking hard

It occurred to me recently that with the passing of time I am less and less fond of drinking a lot (in a short period of time). I can recall when I was younger the sensation of being very drunk was pretty nice; it was a sufficiently altered reality that gave me memorable experiences I quickly forgot.

In the past few years the thought of and the act of having that quantity of alcohol makes me feel a little ill. Perhaps it is because I have worked so hard on getting myself very healthy and fit. Perhaps it gets back to my need to maintain control over my senses.

Whatever the reason, I embody moderation. That said, I now feel like overindulging soon.

Does this happen to all of us?
