The group reinforcement thing becomes a problem as people get into their 30s - often you’ll find that your heavy drinking friends start to drop off as they get more responsibilities or health concerns, and new ones come in. Eventually you look up and many of your friends are alcoholics.

Well then stop drinking with kids and go get some responsibilities. Be the one that drops off the heavy drinking train.

Yeah, but that's just its own vicious circle. You start hanging out with adults only through your kid's playdates, have more kids like the Joneses due to peer pressure etc.

Your drinking starts suffering as a result, and soon enough you won't even know what IPA is in this summer.

Hahahaha, already there buddy, already there. Can’t say I hate it though, it’s a different stage of life. Use it to learn and grow in different ways.

Also I’d take a Bud Heavy over an IPA any summer day.

There is nothing stopping drinking on playdates.
