I appreciate the quantified measure of how much alcohol and how much you spend on it. This sounds like a topic you have invested a lot of thought into already.
I find the “dull system 2” as you described to be unproductive in trying to get to the types of interesting conversations that I try to get into. “being social” has not been enough for me since I realised that I sometimes did not like spending time with a particular social group and asked myself why that was so. I am still trying to be social to gain valuable insight into life and new information about the world around me. When I get tired of that I will probably be okay being “generally social”, but that may be a sad day for the scientist within me...
