Hi Matt, I'm 35, have had salt-wasting CAH since birth. I used to like to drink, but I attributed it to genetics, not CAH. I rarely drink now, I don't have time. Weight is always a hassle but I find if I exercise regularly and eat good things, I'm ok. As for coping, I take my meds, check in with my endo at least every six months and try to ignore it! I don't dwell on it if I can help it. Good luck!
