I could also live without eating pizza... will I ever do it? No, not as long as I like pizza. What exactly is the point in limiting yourself just to prove that you are strong enough? Actually, alcohol is just one of many ways of dealing with things. Other people overwork themselves, start blaming the white man, become religious freaks or (in a woman's case) open their legs for a different random sucker on a daily... there are many ways.

^ You act as if there's no way to live without having to escape from reality... Isn't that exactly what you denounced earlier on?

That's not saying you shouldn't consume alcohol or pizza's, but does it have to be a matter of escaping?

I never promoted escaping from reality. I denounced that, and rightfully so. I remember we had this convo about alcohol over a year ago in mIRC. Lol... what is your problem with drinking a cold beer and feeling good? It's not LSD what we're talking about here. Maybe I made it look like I'm an alcoholic or a depressive drinker and whatnot, but that is not the case.

But I know what you mean and you got a point. Lying to yourself to make yourself feel better or drinking to make yourself feel better... I see the correlation.

In that case, we agree. The thing I'm against, is to see potential going to waste, and to see how people lose control over themselves. Having a cold beer is a really good thing to do; that's an enjoyable activity. At the same time binge drinking or drinking to escape reality should be denounced by any rational standard. Oddly, at the same time that's exactly what society is promoting more or less. There's too few people, with too little control over themselves when it comes to consuming alcoholic drinks.
