I provided my opinion based on what they wrote. I did not intend to generalize it. I’m not sure the OP fully understands the serious risks of alcohol consumption. I have observed enough lives damaged by alcoholism to speak from experience.

But alcoholism and regular alcohol consumption aren't the same thing, are they? Alcoholics regularly consume alcohol, but not everyone who regularly consumes alcohol is an alcoholic.

I like to have a glass of single malt in the evenings after dinner. I've been doing so for years. But if I can't for some reason, so be it. I often forget to have it because I'm busy doing something else. No problem.
