Do you drink alcohol? Why or why not?

Lately I’ve been thinking it is pushed so much to keep people complacent. When I was an avid drinker I didn’t really care what I was accomplishing or doing or why was going on in the world. Long as I had my buzz. Now I rarely drink and feel a lot better and more aggravated at what is going on in this world.

I wonder if media and gov push alcohol so much to keep people complacent. I mean even liquor stores were deemed essential stores. Beer commercials for every sport (I don’t watch) and every movie or show usually has people drinking, sometimes casually but lots of times to excess and it’s seen as the epitome of fun.

I know I'm gonna sound like a pussy but I don't like the taste of alcohol at all. Half the time I feel like I'm drinking piss and the other half some kind of detergent. I stick to water and various juices.

You're not supposed to like the taste of alcohol

You're not supposed to drink if you don't like the taste of alcohol.

I like the taste, which tells me that I am genetically predisposed to benefiting from it.

Nobody benefits from it.

I like the taste of beer, I'll drink a non alcoholic beer.
