Most of us, as we get older, find ourselves more and more fond of having a drink at our leisure. There are multiple and complex reasons behind this phenomenon, which may involve many factors such as each person's personal growth experience, psychological needs, social habits, and cultural background.
1. Personal growth
When we are young, we are energetic and strong-blooded, and we tend to pursue excitement and novelty, but as we grow older and experience more ups and downs in life, we begin to pay more attention to inner peace and tranquility. A drink with friends when you're okay is also a way to find this peace.
Alcohol can make people relax, forget the stresses and troubles of life for a while, and give yourself a temporary space to escape from reality. This short escape is undoubtedly a rare way for adults to relax after a busy day at work.
2. Social needs
As we age, our social circles are constantly changing. The friends you made when you were young may have gone their separate ways, and as you get older, it's often difficult for new friends and colleagues to get into the depths of your heart and deepen your emotional connection by having a few drinks together. Therefore, drinking is not only a way to relax, but also a medium for socializing. Whether it's getting together with friends, communicating with customers or colleagues, a glass of wine can often bring each other closer together and make conversation more relaxed.
3. Cultural background is also one of the important reasons why we like to drink.
In China, the wine culture has a long history, and conversations at the wine table often deepen the understanding and trust between people. A few drinks, talking about life and wine tasting are combined with an elegant cultural activity.
In general, as you get older, a few drinks with friends are for relaxation and socialization, and moderate drinking can bring a pleasant mood, however, when you enjoy the happiness brought by drinking, you should also learn to control yourself, don't drink too much, and don't let alcohol become a burden in life.
Fourth, as we grow older, we gradually realize that there are too many uncertainties and helplessness in life.
Most of the problems encountered in work or study are not under our control, after a busy day's work, to be able to find a quiet corner with three or five friends, quietly sipping a glass of wine, may be a kind of short-term control of one's life. This sense of control is a kind of psychological comfort and satisfaction to get rid of helplessness in real life.
As we get older, we also appreciate everything we have now, whether it's family, friendships, or work. In such a state of mind, a drink has also become a celebration and gratitude for the small fortunes in life, and it is also a manifestation of happiness.
There are multiple and complex reasons behind the fact that the older you get, the more you like to drink. Whether it's to relax, close social distancing, or celebrate life's little blessings, the most important thing is to find a healthy way to relax that works for you. At the same time, learn to control yourself and not let what was originally intended for relaxation and pleasure become a burden in life.
