:lamo

Yep, that was me!
I voted other because nothing fits me, not even "don't drink because it's a personal choice" My personal choice would be to get drunk once in a while. :lol:
However, I'm a recovering alcoholic. Haven't had a taste of alcohol in 718 days. One day at a time.;)

Keep it up you can do it!:peace
 
I'm an unpleasant bastard at the best of times. Put a few drinks in me and I'm downright miserable.

I drink maybe once or twice a year, if that.
I don't view drinking, to the point of getting drunk, as a positive thing.
Losing control of ones behavior, isn't really good in my opinion, but to each their own.
 
I stopped drinking after I had a knife put to my throat. I couldn't do anything about it because I was too damn drunk. I'll never even tempt that possibility ever again.
 
I stopped drinking heavily after I started a bar brawl and got my ass kicked by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Saturday night I had a few beers with my Battalion Commander and some of the other staff officers after drill. First alcohol I'd had in nearly a year.

I trink almost never because it is prohibited by my religion!
 
I drink almost every day, but usually just a beer or a scotch. I drink excessively probably every weekend.

Although the Holy Bible allow sometimes drinking of small amounts of wine, it is better to stop any drinking, because Alcohol is Highway to Hell.

But it is so much more fun to be on the highway to hell then it is to be a puritianical tyrant where sex is limited to procreatation, alcohol is banned and the only fun allowed is singing the lords praise. ( TV and movies are banned to the graven images requirement)

BS. Most people can drink and single beer or glass of wine without having their judgment impaired enough to engage in sin. Clearly you are secret Muslim trying to explain away why you don't drink.;)
 
Wow, I'm impressed with the results so far. :)

Not exactly. :wink2: Well, unless you consider yourself a king that is.

Proverbs 31

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Jesus drank wine. He turned water into wine.He did not turn water into more water. He did not make lots of purified crystal clear water from water ,he turned water into lots of wine so that people can drink it. Noah and many other people in the bible also drank wine. So this idea that Christianity prohibits alcohol is absurd. Yeah there are scriptures that basically say not to become addicted or become a drunk. But there is no ban on drinking booze.
 
Hey uh Alfons:

Why Do Heavy Drinkers Outlive Nondrinkers?

One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is that many of those who show up as abstainers in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems associated with drinking.

But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that — for reasons that aren't entirely clear — abstaining from alcohol does tend to increase one's risk of dying, even when you exclude former problem drinkers. The most shocking part? Abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers.

Dude, nobody is trying to judge you for drinking or not drinking. At least not me. ;)
So, no need to be suspicious. :)

I believe it might be due to the will to live aside from such benifits of drinking lightly can have on heart disease
