amen cataholic.

Drinking for the enjoyment of it, for the taste, for the social interaction, for the relaxation- I don't care the reason. If you want to do it, and you do it safely, then there is no reason for anyone to condemn you.

Yes, there are people who overdo it and act silly, but they are stupid on levels other than alcohol influence. They do not reflect on responsible drinkers.

Drinking is neither illegal (for those of age) nor is it morally wrong. Personally, I enjoy a drink and (gasp!) sometimes two or three. I'm safe and responsible and well over the legal age. Also, one of my dearest friends chooses not to drink- and we still manage to go to the clubs when the need for a Saturday Girls' night out hits us. Both of us having a great time.
