On the real though, I typically keep my drinking to no more than 3 times a month. And even then, I don't usually go over 4 drinks. I can't afford no mfkn OWI. I see soooo many wasted dudes at the bar looking like straight fools trying to pick up women, and since I don't over-drink, my perception of social situations is typically higher than 95% of the people at the bar/club. Which makes it easier for me to have a good time and meet as many girls as possible.
I went through a stage of alcoholism when I was 16. Did plenty of drinking and driving from 17-20.
Now a days I only drink premium beer and liquor. I'll only get drunk if I'm staying the night some where.
Reality of the matter is this- I've been an alcoholic before and know plenty who still currently are... and if you can't find a way to be responsible and enjoy some dranks, then your dumb ass needs to get some help. No need to drive drunk, no need to get so drunk you can't remember the night before, no need to get drunk and catch some STIs from some stanky hoes, no need to get drunk and fight people and go to jail, no need to drink some bullshit cheap liquor or beer.
And I'm 22 now. With a lot more class than I had when I was 16-17-18.
