I think it's going to be different... for different people. If you knew anything about genetic predisposition... you might want to gauge by that. My dad was an alcoholic. (I only say was because he's not alive any more)... but since I've seen it firsthand... I say don't. For me I'd just rather not deal with the temptation to go further. The real question for me then is.. Are you willing to take the risk? Your body does create THIQ every time you take a drink by the way. Doesn't matter who you are... that could catch up with you in time. Last but not least... I'd only have one more gripe. What's it taking the place of?... because if you are somehow putting that in front of where God should be.. then I start to have a problem with it. And making that the Lord of your life isn't where you need to go. Since I know you are married... we would you be willing to kiss another woman and take that chance? I know it's a different situation.. but I would say to guard your heart for all it's worth! Well… I think it’s going to be different… for different people.

Having a drink or 2 is fine, that being said, we are not supposed to be raging alcoholics who can't control ourselves. We are supposed to lead by example...just my 2 cents. Adios.
