Because it doesn't get you drunk? Makes sense. Alcohol is a weird thing in our society. There's so much stigma about being an alcoholic, but I'm not sure anyone can say what, exactly, an alcoholic is. IMO, if your drinking isn't negatively affecting your life, then you're probably fine. I drink enough that I always score really poorly on those silly health assessments I have to do at work (and I'm probably not very truthful on them to being with), but who gives a shit? I'm in good shape, and I've never had a DUI, or even missed work for a hangover, as far as I can remember. Could I quit? I have no idea, and I don't care to find out, because I think it's irrelevant. On the other hand, I had about 8 or 9 beers today, and I don't feel like I was "drinking" (that is, it was casual, and I wasn't out on the town to tear shit up or anything). That kind of scares me sometimes. Anyway, as long as I don't start to get fat I probably won't cry about it.
