Two best choices I've ever made tbh. I look 10 years younger since my last fun

That spelling of separate is also a choice.
I realized in my late 20’s that I actually enjoy going out for drinks with friends. Unfortunately, all of my friends were over it by that point. I look younger than my age, probably due in part to the fact that I never drink. Hopefully my liver abuse days are still ahead of me.
I gave up drinking so I could smoke more pot

Nothing but clean living here, I quit all my vices, unless you count weed and alcohol, which I don't.

The real issue is that the alcohol's pleasant buzz itself is only part of the equation. A huge portion of regular social spots come with the expectation of alcohol in your system. If you are avoiding alcohol its seen as almost "cheating" because you are inhibited and controlled compared to everyone else around you who are psychologically vulnerable due to inebriation. Drinking is a communal agreement to chemically alter ourselves to be more honest and open. Its sort of a trust serum.
Choosing to not drink isolates you. Though drinking too much can also isolate you for different reasons.
Choosing to be isolated is really bad for you, worse than the negative effects of moderate alcohol consumption. (You are not a introvert, that is not a thing)
