How long do the effects of alcohol consumption effectme growth?

I have to disagree with you about this. I believe that you have a misguided notion about drinking.
From what I have seen, most people who drink do it because it's just a normal, fun thing to do. Most people want/need the company of others to be truly happy, and we look for reasons to get together and socialize because of this need for companionship. Alcohol is the excuse we use to provoke the socialization. I would argue it's just as stimulating to the mind as "reading".

It's hard to socialize while your heads in a book, even harder to meet a woman.

If poisoning my body is 'normal' just to talk to some people that more than likely aren't worth the time of day anyway....I'll take alone and a book EVERY SINGLE TIME. Drinking something poisonous to fit into 'society' is pathetic.

I drink on occasion and I have noticed that the hangover the next day is absolutely horrible, I can barely get out of bed, the whole next day is shot.

This has led me to speculate as to whether it's because I am getting older (35 not too old) or is it because the gear is already stressing the liver allowing for more of the "poison" in the alcohol to get in my blood? I used to just bounce back the next day when I was a little younger, not any more.

There are those that view body building and what we put into our bodies as pathetic and narcissistic.

Who are we to judge?? It's up to the each individual to decide their own boundaries on what's expectable for them.

I've seen things from both angles. I like the healthier none drinking route better. Then again when it came to drinking I didn't have any boundaries!!
