When you’re under 21, you anticipate turning 21 so you can hit up all the hottest bars, and spending all your money on happy hour specials. Though after a while, the hard liquor and shots get tiresome and by at 22, maybe 23, you find yourself trading in the hard stuff for the chill stuff.
Spending Saturday nights trying to get so drunk that you can’t remember a thing the next morning, begins to get traded in with red wine at home while watching Netflix. You start to realize how redundant going out and drinking every single weekend is. Before, you always kept a few bottle of rum or vodka in the fridge or cabinet because you and your friends loved to take a few shots before going out, but those have been slowly but surely replaced with bottles of Merlot.
Granted you can still get impaired by wine, but the difference is, you have to try hard to do so. The hard liquor is sure to get you messed up like you want, but when it comes to wine, it’s all about a soothing agent; something you sip on when you’ve had a long day at work. Now, if you drink a whole bottle of it in one sitting, then yes, you may possibly become a little drunk.
