Not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic.
I choose not to drink, but I see nothing wrong with others choosing to drink safely and in moderation.
There are health benefits to drinking wine, too. Doesn't make me want to do it, but I'm not going to judge others for doing so.

I don't drink either and as long as the person drinking isn't affecting me I really don't care what they do.

If some company had just invented alcohol and wanted to market it as a recreational drug, it's very unlikely any government would approve it for sale.

Some people can drink responsibly but high consumption can lead to alcoholism where once you start drinking you can't or don't want to stop.

What does this have to do with anything? Ironically, OP (and you?) probably smokes weed for the sole purpose that it's not approved for sale and therefore makes them feel unique and edgy. Other than that I'm like 90% sure this is a troll.

Well some brains are predisposed to alcoholism and activated by childhood neglect,abuse etc.. and its difficult and even impossible for some to get better..try to be evolved and non judgemental.. We all are prisoners of our own brain's physiology and neurochemistry.

My dad is an alcoholic and my mother was an alcoholic before I was born. All my grandparents were alcoholics. I am 19 years old. Despite all of this, I am not an alcoholic. I haven't even tried it once in my entire life

Good for you! It's probably best that you not ever try it.
However, not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic. I don't have any alcoholics inf my family, but there's still loads on dysfunction.

Good for you.. But if you grew up in a dysfunctional alcoholic family you still need therapy.. If not alcoholism, you're definitely still gonna have or already have some type of mental issue. Sorry bout you're fam but just remember that they are ill and have dysfunctional brains and don't take it too personally if you can coz it's just gonna mess you up more.

Considering your family history, it's wise of you to avoid alcohol. There's evidence that alcoholism can be inherited, so it's possible (maybe even likely) that your genes mean you'd find drinking difficult to control if you ever started.
Binge drinking and habitual high consumption of alcohol is a real problem in the UK, but recent surveys have found that around a quarter of people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four never drink at all. I don't know where you live, but you can be sure you're not unique, and you'll feel a lot better and be a lot healthier (and wealthier) if you don't drink.

You hate alcohol, because you were raised in an alcoholic family. Alcohol itself is not bad and there is nothing wrong with enjoying it. Abusing it is the real problem.
I like having a drink. A cold beer in the evening, Chivas Regal in the weekends. I have no alcoholics in my family and I really enjoy having a few glasses of whiskey with my mom and dad as we talk about stuff. It's a really nice and bonding thing. That doesn't mean we are losers. My dad is a retired businessman with three houses, my mother was a professional translator, before retiring and I have my own business and 3 cars. Not what you'd call jobless losers that piss themselves, wasted on the cheapest booze is it?
Don't drink, nothing wrong with that, but don't hate people who like having a drink, just cause of your bad experiences.

I look down on alcoholism and people who chug beers at every social event, but hey if people want to mess themselves up like that then go ahead. I won't say anything.

Rushing to judgement on an individual because of a bad personal experience is fairly normal, but not necessary a good way to view others.
Also, sugar causes far more deaths than alcohol.
But I think people who eat at McDonalds and drink coca-cola are ignorant fucks, so whatever.

No I shouldn't. Alcohol causes basically half of all the crap in our society.

I understand where you're coming from, and can respect your point of view, but I disagree.
My second ex-husband was an alcoholic. I dumped him after three months, because all he wanted to do was get drunk, and play video games. He probably would have loved to smoke weed, but I stopped buying weed, because I'm not an addict, and I was annoyed.
We met at work, and he seemed normal enough, but after he got fired all he wanted to do was drink and play videogames, and I ain't got time for that bullshit!

No, just the dumbass losers you associate with cause the problems and I'm guessing by "our society" you mean the USA and/or Australia.

Every year in the US, alcohol kills more than twice as many people than guns.
(88,000 alcohol related deaths annually. Source- CDC)

If you're looking down on me as I'm drinking, help me back up on to my barstool!

I enjoy the occasional drink and I'm moderately successful. I'm living proof along with many others that alcohol isn't the source of people being losers.
