Do you drink alcohol at all? (yes, it's firearms-related)

[cracked butt]

I like beer and I like rum.
I have shot guns while drinking a beer or two, no big deal. Do I care what others here think of that? No.
Alcohol doesn't turn you evil, and it doesn't make you stupid.
If you are already evil or stupid it just brings that behavior to the surface. If you are a responsible person who is control of yourself and don't have adiction problems, a beer or two won't hurt anything.

Well Said

Well, I do drink alcoholic beverages, but doing so does not equate with drunkeness.

Perhaps I am fortunate in that I was raised in Italian-American household. Wine drinking was accepted as a normal part of the family dinner experience. It's hard to remember ever seeing a family member (parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents) abusing alcohol.

I too grew up in this type of household.

I look at drinking like I view caliber selection and hunting: Use common sense, do what works for you, and do it responsibly.

I drink almost every day, but rarely have more than 2 drinks per day. First, drinking in small amounts is good for your heart and mental health. As long as you know your limit and don’t over do it, there is no problem. You can look at booze the same as guns; those who will abuse it will abuse and those who enjoy responsibly will enjoy responsibly.

Alcohol--the drug that's also a food.



That is what really complicates things for us human beings.

Yes I drink but I'm not allowed to carry anyway(live in the wrong country). If I would be allowed to carry I do not know whether I would still drink, alcohol+guns are certainly a bad combination.

 

[Regolith]

For the most part, I do not drink. However, I do not abstain completely, and will drink every once in a while. However, I've been known to go months or years without an ounce of alcohol passing into my body. And I also refuse to drink if there is a possibility of putting myself or others in danger.
