Anyone ever gone off drinking/nights out

I’m a mum of 2 so my big drinking/all nighters have been out of the window for a while now. These days I normally go out maybe 2/3 times a year. I went out in June and after 2 or 3 drinks I came over all funny and just wanted to go home. I went out again on Friday night and the same happened again 2 or 3 drinks in. When I was younger I loved a night out and was usually the one who didn’t want to go home! Now the thought of drinking just doesn’t appeal to me anymore. Like I said I’ve gone from the one not wanting to go home and there’s been a few times in my early twenties where I had waaaaay too much to drink on night out and have really enjoyed myself to finding a night out something I’d dread. I’m not complaining, I’m quite happy this way, just interested if this has suddenly happened to anyone else!

Yes, me! I think I was getting bored with it even before I had kids. I still enjoy getting tipsy but like having my wits about me so I can remember everything and know I won't be waking up feeling awful. The thought of trying to get up and look after kids with a hangover is definitely off putting, especially as mine are early risers. I still have friends who enjoy getting very drunk and staying out until the early hours, but I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Yes me too, in my late 20s! I had started to go off it anyway then had two really horrific hangovers and that was the end of my drinking days 😂

(I don’t have children).

Glad to hear I’m not the only one🤣 I’m 28 and didn’t expect to feel like this for a few more years🤣
