I think it is fine. I have been in the bar business for the past 15 years and I always say the same thing. Once you feel you NEED to drink or HAVE to drink, then it is an issue. but a few beers every now and then socially and with friends is always fine. Self Control is the real issue.


This is so true - having seen and most likely been an alcoholic - as long as its in moderation and does not interfere with your ability to function normally - then you're fine, however if you have liver issues or anything like that its best to avoid alcohol altogether. For example I used to drink regularly - 6-8 beers a night until I was 25 then I decided it was time to chill out - then a year ago I got really sick and found out I've got an inherited condition that is triggered by alcohol and a SLEW of other things so no more beer for me... so now its all about self control, cause darn I enjoy beer.
