I feel like there’s not enough threads about people saying it’s ok to drink some beer and live a good life..

There was a thread very recently that I posted in, if you want to read it from my post history, that essentially made me rethink my own alcohol consumption.

As long as you’re not negatively affecting aspects of your life, work/relationships/socially, I don’t think anyone would say alcohol prevents living a good life if consumed in moderation. Drinking too much and too often is one hell of a risk to shorten your life, even if it doesn’t affect other aspects of your life.

I’m in my young 30s, and someone said that if you think two fifths in a week isn’t too much, it’s time to rethink. While I don’t drink that much, I certainly didn’t think that as far too much alcohol if life is otherwise going well with no negative results from the consumption.

Alcohol is not bad in moderation, but it’s one hell of a slippery slope, especially when friend/peer groups are originated in alcohol consumption.
