When I was 12, we moved to London and brought an Off License. (Liqueur store). I began drinking as a result but at the age of 15 I consciously made a choice not to drink. I had never gotten to the point where I was drunk and so last year I truly wanted to know what the fuss was all about so I went on a stag doo to Amsterdam with some friends and I decided to join in and drink because I objectively wanted to know why people drank.
I didn't enjoy the experience. Naturally, I'm happy, fun loving and outgoing. When I drank I became a grumpy, moody git who seemed to have terrible mood swings. I only wanted to try it once and I knew I would never drink again because I guessed that it would seriously affect my spiritual development.
I am definitely against alcohol because it affects my ability to make choices and my choices are what shape my life.
