I played 25th anniversary. I loved it. Haha, I'm old.

I love lower decks. It's the only one I like, even a little bit. But you have to really really love 90s trek to get all the inside jokes. Like watching TNG-Enterprise multiple times. Season 2+ got a lot better too.
If I want to watch trek, these days, I almost always throw on Voyager or Enterprise, they are my favorites.
I quit drinking almost 6 years ago now, when I was 35. I don't miss it and glad I was able to quit before I couldn't.
I don't think its right or wrong to give them a tiny amount of money, regardless of what they use it for. If you're worried about that, I've bought them fast food before, and honestly, most of them seem more appreciative of that than getting money.
Also, the best thing you can do is of course, support laws and charities that feed/provide for the homeless.
This is the !biggest comp sci innovation in !decades
Is this pandering?
I bought an amaztech stratos fitness watch, worth every penny if you use it for running. Tracks your run distance/time via gps, streams music via bluetooth and doesn't require a phone, heartbeat monitor, etc. But otherwise I agree, quartz timekeeping is the way to go.
Expensive Cars. If you have to have one, buy a cheap one. One of the worst lifetime financial decisions you can make is spending money on cars, all of them get you to A to B. A used Prius is just about the most economical car you can buy for total cost per mile travelled. It would be nice if more cities had good public transportation systems, but unfortunately most don't. I love long island, getting around on public transportation is so convenient.
Edit: Something like this example prius is the way to go if you are trying to maximize your dollar. Drive it until the wheels fall off:

I have experience with alcoholics in the family and haven't drank more than a handful of drinks in the last 5 years, because I don't want to go down that road, but the things you need to ask yourself are: Are you prepared to have her never changed and eventually drink herself to death? Are you prepared for her behavior to get even worse over the years towards you and herself? Are you prepared for the drinking associated health complications, she won't be able to function as an adult for her last 5-10 years. Are you prepared to deal with potential DUIs, job losses, and other alcohol related complications? Are you prepared to give up your life to deal with her situation?
If the answer is no, you need to think about your future with her. You can't help her through this one.
Depending on how you're counting, China is 10x older than the US. It takes a special kind of naivety to think that the nephew can get one over on the uncle.
