Then I'm a health professional, intending to be around for a long time, who rarely has more than two drinks in any 24 hours.

Even as a teenager, and in my 20s, pubs and clubs just were not my scene.

I made my excuses to leave after about 20 minutes because of the distorted and incoherent noise levels.
(It's not that I object to volume if it is clear - I have eight 25cm bass speakers in my living room at home.)

I did get mildly drunk once in about 1976 or so and took steps to make sure it never happened to me again.
