I used to drink A LOT. I don't miss it. I don't like the feeling of drunk -- I like the process of drinking, the taste, the smell, the social environment. But I can get that with a drink or two drinks and then switching to non-alcholohic. You really only taste the first one anyway. I believe it -- I think depressed women are more likely to binge drink, hoping for that first high of a buzz to make them feel better. But the crash (not to mention the hangover) would make it worse.
