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.

Same. Either two beers or two glasses of wine pretty much every day. (A bottle contains just over 4 glasses of wine, so if you have someone to share it with, that bottle gets you each two glasses.) I'm not exactly getting shitfaced when I start at 5:30 and don't take the last sip until 8:00-9:00.
