Dating in your 30s is supposed to be wiser, more grounded — but somehow, it still revolves around drinks. From wine-fueled first dates to “liquid courage” before awkward small talk, alcohol is the unofficial plus-one nobody asked for.

How booze leads to risky decisions — physically and emotionally
Why “hangxiety” after dates is totally real (and not just you being dramatic)
How alcohol-based relationships often mask red flags or emotional disconnection
Smarter ways to date without letting alcohol run the show
