I dont drink because I dont enjoy losing control, but I have no problem at all with anyone that wants a drink to wind down with. I do kind of resent the general implication that because I dont drink, I am some kind of wowser (not just me, there are more 0's than anything else, not taking it personally of course).
I cant abide being stuck in a room or car with a bunch of drunks because their drunken idea of 'fun' is noisy and often decidedly anti social. Do it in a legal place, away from me, and dont drive home or king hit someone to death, and I have no problem boys, go for it.
I dont care if people want to cone on, or take a handful of ekkies, or shoot up growth hormones either.. so long as they can afford to pay for them without sponging or stealing off the rest of society. The only difference between all of those drugs and alcohol and cigarettes is their legality, they are ALL drugs. They alter the chemical balance of your body.. thats a drug.
I live on a diet of (legally prescribed) morphine so I am not in a position to be critical of anyones drug preferences, but anyone who thinks that alcohol is not also a drug is kidding themselves.
In the end, its your choice, and if you arent hurting anyone or driving drunk, and if you arent king hitting strangers on the street, enjoy
