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.

Yes and just annoys me how acceptable it is? Like those shirts “mommy needs some wine” or whatever. Imagine if it said “mommy needs heroin” it’s ridiculous. I’m thankful my parents weren’t drinkers, as I grew up it made me respect them even more. Then you have people who get trashed with their kids it just seems so immature and irresponsible. Not to mention the tins of negative health benefits.
