Do you drink alcohol?

My paternal uncle was a drunkard. He used to begin drinking before brushing his teeth, and the session would be continuous throughout the day and well into night, almost around 2 or so he would sleep, with a lot of incoherent stuff talking. His wife would sit at the door step listening to him and agreeing to whatever garbage he was talking, half dozing off herself. The guy never worked and neither did his wife! He had four children. Dad maintained that family and was almost a pauper when he retired. At retirement, dad received some monies and this man beat dad for those so that he could drink. We parted ways. Then dad's sister reconciled dad and him. Three years later, I was physically abused for monies. This time I put my foot down. Going was tough. I was not going to reconcile and starve. I was starving already because of this family and dad's sister's family whom dad had helped. So yes, it is a bit of personal thing I am prejudicial about such folks. His third son, incidentally, is again in the same mold. Family was desperate to get us to reconcile - nobody wants such responsibilities. lol. So if there is reconciliation, I get saddled with the responsibility. He is grown up, older than me. I don't want that responsibility! That said, I am fine if dad drinks occasionally, as long as it does not become something for which others are troubled. If people are not addicted to it, it is ok. If they are, they need to get real and do something about it.

Nope! Non-drinker and plan to remain as such!

It makes me sleepy so I tend not to drink much

@thehorse A few fingers of whiskey late at night is a fine practice. I drink Jameson's mostly.

Nope. Never have. Never will. I've glugged too much sugar but not booze.

I've only been drunk once in my life. lol

I do drink my favorite bloody mary sometimes in the evening. It helps to take the edge off of my work days. But I only drink one.

I don't drink much anymore. My granddaughter brought some hard cider one time named Angry Orchard. It was tasty. I had about half of one bottle and was feeling tipsy.

I only drink on Sunday,then Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, then the rest of the week. I actually do not drink that much, but with the way society keeps going I want to drink everyday. So rude and violence is not everything. Treat people better and I will want to drink less. Am I the only one who feels that?

never, i never want to

Actually , I don't drink at all, I don't care for the taste, I would probably be the only one reaching for a soda.

I can drink non stop if I want. But I have been curbing my drinking, I feel better for it, and look better for it. The longest I went non drinking was for the entire lent duration. And I was surprised how good I felt not drinking. Alchol is a depressant actually

No, I am a lifelong teetotaller and have never felt that I am missing out on anything. I don't even knowingly consume it in food.

Anything in excess is not good.
