Umm well hes dead now, liver failure. So im aware of what alcoholism is and what it can do. I know lots of people (remember this is wales
) who have been in the same situation and now treat alcohol like an evil substance.
I wasn't so much giving a moderation sermon as explaining what I meant by enjoying alcohol. Often people say "I don't like Alcohol". I suppose thats their choice not to drink it and thats fine and probebly better for them in the long run. I just think its a bit of a generalized statement. There are so many different alcoholic drinks and I find the people who say things like that a lot of the time have only tryed one or two beers and a glass of cheap wine (in my experience). On this forum I expect its rather different. Its probebly a case that people had partied through their youth, tryed every drug/drink and then decided it wasn't much for them. Since I enjoy ale, beers and go round trying to taste every one that looks interesting to me, my view on all this is different to most peoples. I suppose its like if someone says "I don't like music". Its their choice but one always suspects they havent listened to enough to pass judgement.
