Once in a great while - I don't mind having an occasional drink, but I don't have much desire for the stuff.

What a load of tripe.\n\nI enjoy a drink when I go out, but I dont drink to get drunk, I drink because I like the taste and it helps me to lose my inhibitions - and not because I am 'conscious' of the people around me and not because someone has died nor because I want to forget something bad has happened, but because I WANT to -  however, I have never been so drunk that I havent remember what I got up to the night before, nor have I have been so drunk that I wasnt in control of myself   -  (but even if I had - thats my look out).  \n\nI think the only time people make fools of themselves when they are drunk (or even sober) are when they become aggressive and/or verbally abusive - anything else (i.e. dancing on tables, on the podium, singing etc etc) is just fun (and who needs drink to do that - however, I think it can enhance your performance lol!!)  and I dont think these people make fools of themselves - life is meant to be fun - what YOU find fun might not be someone elses idea of fun   -  live and let live, as long as no one is hurt then its alllllllll gooooood!!!

alcohol is dangerous for more then 4 reasons but the most basic are... \n1. impairs judgment - obviously unhealthy because of the negative choices that you can make (drunk driving, etc.)\n2. alcohol kills... since alcohol is actually a poison in your body, the more you have the more likely you can get poisoned from it.\n3. liver damage - alcohol kills liver cells faster because the body tries to digest the alcohol in the liver.\n4. kills braincells - compare the results of tests from someone who has drank heavily to someone who doesn't drink you will notice the dramatic difference in the amount of braincells and brain activity.\n\nalcohol is not as dangerous for the women who is pregnant, as it is for the unborn child. the woman must produce food and feed the baby, the babies body is not mature enough to deal with the toxins found in alcohol, causing serious potential defects in the fetus.

For your own well being I would suggest that you find something else to do that you enjoy. The physical high you get from alcohol is only temporary. Other things in life like family, friends, hobbies, and relationships will give you long lasting fullfillment. I'm not saying "don't drink", but if you drink do it in moderation. Obsessing over alcohol will probably lead to injury to your body, damage to your relationships, and possibly physical harm to others. I hope I read your question correctly.

Nope, becoming drunk is the sin. Catholics often use real wine for communion. I have the occasional drink. I work at a 5 star restaurant, and we go to wine tastings. My Jehovah's Witness co worker tastes the wine with the rest of us.

I'm a bloke and, being totally and utterly honest, I'm not in need of sobering up as I have not consumed any alcohol.\n\nIf you ever hear of a guy in the UK who does NOT LIKE Beer or Lager, then It's Me. I can not stand the smell ...nor the taste. \n\nI neither like the smell nor taste of Indian food, as well.\n\nOh, and I have little interest in Football, Footie (what a stupid childish name) or 'That Beautiful Game.' It's invested with too many and far too much of man's negative characteristics.\n\nGod, but I'm a terrible Englishman....!\n\nOk. I'll go back under my rock now.\n\nSash.

Just wondering are you referring to any particular society/country? I would suspect that alcohol is viewed/used/abused differently from country to country.\n\nHere is an excellent web site that gives by race, gender and age. I don't know how to transfer the web page address so that you can just click on it. Wish someone would show me. If you do a yahoo search its called Alcoholic Beverage Consumption in the US: Patterns and Trends\n\nwww2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1116895242.html

My personal opinion is >>> If you're going to drink, weather you're 15 or 30, do it responsibly, dont drink and drive (I KNOW EVERYONE IS TOLD THIS, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN), and secondly, someone should know when enough is enough, because alot of women/girl get into horrible situations - oh yeah, and NEVER accept a drink from a "house party" from someone you dont know and trust :o)

I can drink in front of my child without abusing him... However, I cannot in any way smoke in front of my child without having the toxins enter into his lungs...\nSure, some people get wild on alcohol, but a lot don't.  The fact of the matter is that ALL people who smoke in front of children will be sharing their terrible smoke.\nGood Question!!!

I just browsed your former questions. Why are you obsessed with staining drinks? Just curious...

I "need" a beer after a long day - a hard day's work or an emotionally strenuous day.  Just one, mind you... maybe two if it's been bad... but a beer is refreshing and makes everything feel better for a little bit.

Why can't you spell or write properly?  You obviously don't need to drink, you need to keep the few brain cells you have left.\n\nDon't worry about such complex problems (forget about studies that show that alchohol affects the brain differently for people that are younger IE: 18) and instead worry about things more suited to you:  Why the sun is bright, what your favorite color is, ect.

Only under one of the following two conditions:  If you drink to get drunk, or if you don't offer me one!\n\nSeriously, Paul taught us that all things are lawful, but not all things are profitable (spiritually speaking).  For example, when my children were younger, I stopped drinking all beer and wine, even though they are cultural drinks I grew up with.  Now that they are adults, I occasionally enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, but not for the purpose of anebriation(sp?).\n\nCheck your motives, then let the Holy Spirit lead you.

Antibuse is not a candy for playing, if you are using it is because you really want to stop drinking, if the person doesn´t have any control at all, then should go to a main desintoxication first cause depending of the amount and type of alcohol can even convulsionate and die in a couple of minutes...is not the smae beer than whiskey and it depens on the amount of antibuse as well... simply, as an adult the person needs to know what he-she wants to do and not playing around and giving head each to people around... maybe is more a desire to call the attention than anything else
