I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

I get what you're saying
It's just a personal choice on my part. If people enjoy drinking, then I've got no problems with them doing it. The only time I have a problem with it is when people's drunken antics make the lives of the people around them worse. Like, if a person trashes their own apartment, that's not a problem really. They can fix it. If somebody trashes someone ELSE'S apartment, breaks somebody else's property, does some bodily function onto somebody, or worst of all gets another person killed, THEN I have a problem with it.

Drinking should be a purely personal choice. Once you effectively start making the choice for other people, or forcing others to deal with the consequences of your choice, it stops being personal and starts being destructive.

At least that's my opinion. But hey, what do I know? I'm boring. :-)
