Did the posters who said it was about looking cool never dip? You get a nice buzz, sometimes a different buzz when done with alcohol, it’s an appetite suppressant, and keeps you alert for times like driving at night. I never thought it made me look cool and typically hid it.
I was only a casual user (2-3 cans a month) in my 20s, then met my future wife who said she wouldn’t date me unless I quit. Quit cold turkey for two years, then went to work (at a biotech company of all places) where 50% of the male employees dipped all the time, at their desks, in conference room meetings, in the car on the way to sales calls. I jumped right back in for a few years until my wife got pregnant 6 years ago. I wouldn’t call it relapsing, but about once a year if doing a long drive by myself I might stop by the gas station and get some bandit pouches for the roadie and it’s a nice nostalgic feeling. Never felt the urge to do it regularly again, but I treat it like the occasional cigar. Good luck to the rest of you quitters!
