Whatever it takes to keep you sober.
I actually like the taste of some alcohol. There are people who are able to drink and not drink to excess. I am one of those people. Don't assume that everyone who has a drink has a problem with it.

Depends on the type. I agree that most alcoholic beverages are crap and that wine is overrated. But, taste and comfort. I don't have the same tastes as the next person, so I see no reason, unless they're assaulting me while wasted, to interfere with their destruction of their liver, if I don't know them. Life is too short for that sort of discomfort.

Midday on a Sunday and I'm on my second bottle of beer.
