If you can drink in moderation, with some actual self control, hey, go for it. I for one take the coward's way out and obstain completely rather than develop the self discipline to enjoy it responsibly. That's a true statement made by me in a way that makes my argument look as bad as possible.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
