Yes, I try to avoid alcohol although early on in my experimentation I drank quite a bit (availability?). I made a fool of myself many times with virtually no payoff for my trouble. Sometimes I forget what an *ss I can be when I drink heavily ( is there any way else to drink? ) and I always regret. There are other substances I choose not to use due to my lack of control under their influence. Does this mean I should quit all drugs? TOTAL ABSTINENCE? I think it's about carefully realizing what is worth the trade off of incredible high to incredible low. You always have to pay for the ride, mostly.
I really enjoy seeing other people having fun with alcohol and I have great empathy for those who are suffering under it's influence.
