Thanks! Well, it causes me a lot of problems. When I drink alcohol, I don't sleep well, I wake up with a lot of anxiety, and I am much less patient. Also, drinking often leads to more drinking. If I drank today, I probably will crave it tomorrow. Conversely, if I don't drink alcohol for a few days, I really stop thinking about it.

Many of the negative effects were much more mild in my teens and early twenties.
