How can we complain about alcoholism when there is so much available to us?

Not a beer fan, I prefer mix drinks. Self control is the key where alcohol is concerned. Nice shot, especially for the weekend!

You are so right. We live in a country where so much is available to us and the attitude is "If you want it you can have it." Apart from alcohol i think that over eating is also an issue.

Abundance is an issue in all aspects but again self control is indeed the key.
Have a nice weekend!

I enjoy a beer every now and then, it has been years since I have been drunk. I think I did more drinking prior to turning 21, that is a shame.

The last time I was drunk was the night of December 30, 1984. I learned my lesson. I had such a hang over on New Year's Eve that I could only drink ice water. Went to a party at a nice restaurant and there was a blizzard. Only six of us arrived for the big bash. They were losing money anyway so they gave the booze away for free. The ice water was free as well. I now drink in moderation and enjoy it more.
Nice shot by the way.
