Um well I went with out drinking for ten years more or less, do to religious beliefs, so when I finally woke up to the fact that there is nothing wrong with drinking, its all in the way you of see it that makes the difference. I have an occasional drink. I guess it just depends. sometimes I drink just to have a drink, as in sitting around with my friends, and then other times, like last night I had a need. (Heck I use to be able to drink a 12 pack of beer and a couple of shoots before I was passed out, now it takes only three beers, and I have had enough.)
