    sacrificing a bit of health for a bit of fun is totally reasonable

    So it’s not possible to have fun and be sociable without alcohol or other intoxicant? What does that say about society?

      Aaaaand the secular neo-temperance crowd has arrived.

      Of course it is possible to have fun without alcohol. I might get some friends together to go for a nice hike on a sunday, where we can exercise and talk and goof around and have a good time in nature, and that is fun. And then afterwards, maybe we finish the day by going to a brewery and having a couple beers and eating some french fries, and that is also fun. But there is no pressure to join for the second part, or to drink or eat the french fries if you do join. You can just be sober and have a good time too. I just personally enjoy drinking, so I do it on occasion, and my life is better for it.
