I stopped drinking 40 years ago. Would it be okay for me to drink now?

I think I drank to relieve stress and to cover up shyness.

    Drinking and being an alcoholic is a dependency, as you know, and you did it due to shyness, etc.

    Drinking now can throw you back after making 40 years of progress. Drink ginge rale or no alcohol beer if you're in a social situation where you want to 'fit in'. No one knows what's in the drink. :)

    Good luck and keep off the alcohol and stay healthier, live longer.

    I don't drink alcoholic beverages at all. I think you shouldn't start. Rather, if you still are shy and awkward socially, work on that as a self improvement project.

    no... just stay healthy rather than getting disease from alcohol.
