i am so mad at society for all the commercials on tv and bars in the city i grew up in which was one reason i started to drink as a teenager, i'm 54 now, but you're right what is and how do you drink responsibly? so many things happen that are bad from binge drinking and just regular drinking too.i mean on a regular basis.people self medicate with it i guess, but whose to say what is right pills or beer and alcohol. i even worked a bar for awhile and would never do it again. watching those people drink and then get in their cars really scared me. well i guess if i had the chance to do what i wanted i would have chosen drinking, but after my diagnosis i was on a pshyc ward and have been on meds which don't give me blackouts or the bedspins either.
