I got the cursed genes on both sides as well which is why I stayed away completely until 24. And then I found out, "Oh, I definitely have the cursed genes". I do all my drinking alone, though. At home, just to chill out, calm down, and maybe enjoy a wrestling show/movie/music a little more. I don't do heavy drinking in one sitting, but it is more like I'll have 2 drinks a day for like....3 weeks in a row. The weight gain is really probably the biggest issue to me right now. That is a LOT of extra calories coming in.
