My alcohol tolerance is next to nothing. I can't have even a sip of ANYTHING alcoholic and keep a clear head. I can barely handle caffeine. I am not a pretty or a funny drunk. I behave in ways I do not find spiritually enlightening when I am under the influence. It's something no one wants to see and I've never found the experience fun or even tolerable, so I have simply chosen to not partake in alcoholic beverages.
As for other people drinking, I really don't see why it is necessary. I don't understand why people wouldn't want to just be themselves- why they need to drink something in order to be able to have fun, but just because I don't understand it doesn't make it wrong in my head. I don't enjoy being around people who become obnoxious when intoxicated, and I've had some experiences with violent drunks, but obviously not everyone who drinks behaves in this way. Basically if you aren't hurting or offending anyone and you aren't depending on it to get you through the day, I'm not going to say it's wrong to drink. It just isn't something I can get my head around, as I have no desire to do it at all.
