For me, used with discernment, alcohol is sincerely a life-enhancing drug.

I can appreciate that. It’s a tough boundary to keep though.
Agreed. I’ve always been immune to addiction and can walk away from any substance. So going months without drinking is not a problem. For others, I recognize this isn’t always the case.
Used in moderation it's literally medicine
I agree. I’ve seen people breakthrough serious plateaus on alcohol many times.
Alcohol has personally enabled and enhanced experiences in my life that never would’ve occurred otherwise. I don’t take it for granted.
It’s also caused me huge problems on occasion. But I think on net it’s added more than it’s been a detriment for me. Especially as I’ve gotten older and learned to master the tricky substance.
Yep, same for me. I've crossed to the other side because I was young and reckless. With age you get to master the art of drinking responsibly. The most important lesson is proper amounts of water between drinks. The harder the drink, the more the water. Not drinking at my table is a serious red flag, probably a fed. 😂
