I am the same. I drink on the rare occasion. I like it, I just don't care for the dehydration it causes.

Mentally left when I was 13. Physically left when I was old enough to do so. Didn't drink then. Don't drink now. I don't like the taste or the effect.

Was drinking while I was a JW. When I left, I probably drank a little more at first, enjoying the freedom for a few years. But with my wild youth behind me, the desire to do so has waned. I still drink, and occasionally get to the point of being drunk, but it isn't very often at all anymore.
When I was a JW, I think I had more fun doing it because it was wrong - which drove me to do it more.
