[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the benefit of drinking compared to risk though? Pregnancy is a personal decision of risk and reward. Driving cars are a by-product of social and economical decisions. Running has a cardio benefit even though it can be disastrous for lower leg. I personally cant think of a benefit to alcohol besides maybe resveratol in wine but intake of berries and pistachios also provide that. [/quote]

Joy?  Happiness?  Community?

I mean life is not all about Living Perfectly.

You can get all those things without drinking alcohol. Or having one glass at a party. If day-to-day joy & happiness must be served with alcohol, that's problem drinking.[/quote]

DP you are reading into the PP that they are only experiencing happiness when they drink, which would be problematic. But if they are having a couple of glasses of wine at a weekend dinner party, and the buzz helps them enjoy the evening, then who cares? If I am socializing with people I don't know that well, a little buzz is helpful. It doesn't mean I can't experience enjoyment without it, but it does add something for me in certain situations (situations I encounter once every couple of weeks if that). If it doesn't for you that's fine! But raising your eyebrows because someone says they enjoy alcohol from time to time is pretty silly.[/quote]
