Drinking does not have to be unintelligent or immature. Yes, it is possible to genuinely enjoy life while you are drinking. I seldom drink these days but some of my most memorable times have happened while enjoying some drinks with friends.
Try enjoying your own lifestyle without putting down others, it is even more enjoyable! |
QFT.
I used to be in the bandwagon of those who looked down on people who drunk themselves to death. Then, I started drinking.
Drinking did a very important thing for me: it gave me the courage to open up to my friends about some very important issues that I was bottling up inside of me. A few nights drunk, talking ourselves off, and I had the clarity I needed to face my problems.
Also, it's fun. Now, I tend to only drink when I'm in a knit-tight environment with some close friends.
Bottom line is, if you don't drink, you should.
Just kidding... If you don't drink, don't put down those who do and vice-versa. My group of close friends have people that drink more than me, people who drink as much as me, people who drink less than me and people who don't drink. Not once drinking was a problem (only when people vomit!
).
