i like to drink. i've never had a problem with it, but like jfalconer, i have had some of the most amazing nights in my life whilst drunk -- great conversations, great feelings of connection, great amounts of fun and laughter, swinging on swings at the top of a hill so that you feel like youre going to fly off the edge of the world. good times with good friends.
maybe we didnt *need* the alcohol to have those great times, but we had it, and the great times still happened, so i definitely dont see it as a damaging thing, at least not for me.
luckily, i dont like it enough to have a problem with it. if i go several weeks without drinking, i barely notice it. it's certainly no hardship.
i am definitely a big believer in the power of drugs to transform a person's consciousness in a powerfully positive way, though, so maybe that's why i have good experiences.
