Do you guys notice when youre keeping your brain active and busy its fine (hyperfocusing on multiple projects, manic business etc) . But if you want to wind down you feel the need to drink so it slows your brain down? If I dont, my brain never stops and its hard to enjoy doing something that isn't one of my 3000 projects.

I especially find this with gaming. Its very hard to stay engaged in any game without drinking because its a "waste of my time"

Alcohol was great for that in my teens until mid 20s. It would calm me down and stop me stressing.

Now I'm late 20s and alcohol makes me tired and unproductive. I'm already pretty exhausted from the constant grind of being alive so now alcohol has shifted to being more of a problem.
