Discussion What is your stance on alcohol?

[God]

There's a lot that can be said about alcohol, especially if you're older, so I'm curious to see everyone's thoughts.

I personally think all alcohol is fine if you're smart about it. There's a big difference between culturally sitting down with your friends/family and having glasses of wine or whiskey..and stumbling around in a house party, blackout drunk on cheap vodka.

After all, the only thing making alcohol so widely hated is the lack of responsibility from the side of the person.

That being said, I'm not much of an alcohol enjoyer, and don't drink at all, except on special occasions like new years eve.

Moderation in all things is important. The thing is, the threshold for what counts as moderate varies based on the person and the substance. We can let anything ruin our lives once we have too much of it. I say all this in that video games and work addiction have ruined the lives of many. Alcohol, like most things, is neutral. Its just the quantity that causes it to impact someone negatively.

For most, the moderation threshold for intravenous drug use is 0. Not for most people, but definitely for some, that same threshold applies for alcohol. It's not for everyone. But for those it is for, like with all things it's important to know limits.

If you understand how the science of alcohol works you'd realize kinda how weird it is as a concept. But otherwise I've never enjoyed the taste of it and I've never felt any real "benefits" from it. At most I get tired and fall asleep easily.

Yeah same i drink on special occasions like christmas, family dinner with the in-laws, an expensive alcohol like whisky, cognac, armagnac etc.

I use a lot of red wine for making ly beef stews (aka boeuf bourguignon) but the alcohol content is evaporated basically
