This one paragraph excellently articulates a thought I've had regarding the trend towards sobriety (and the houlier-than-thou ego that comes with it) but I haven't been so eloquent in describing:

Granted, alcohol is not a 100 percent return on investment. Sometimes, you wake up after a night out drinking having sparked something exciting: a new idea, a new prospect, a new relationship. Other times, you just wake up with a hangover, and the lessons contained therein as to the limits of your tolerance. But these are valuable, too: It’s impossible to know where your boundaries lie—how much is too much, or how far is too far—unless you occasionally tread beyond them.
