While I don’t have any data on this, just thinking back on my own experience from youth to today as a 41 year old man… I don’t think adults handle recovery from alcohol worse than 21 year olds… I think we are just more aware of the consequences of the alcohol and weigh the value of the alcohol lower.
When I was in my 20s, I used to occasionally drink to the point of having a hangover or even puking… fairly regularly I’d have a few drinks in the evening.
My sleep quality was terrible back then, but I didn’t know why or that some people don’t live life that way… in my 40s, with sleep trackers etc I can see exactly what alcohol does and have experienced life with several consecutive months of no alcohol.
