It depends what one drinks, I think that craft beer is very natural and healthy.

gee you dont say, beer has ABV roughly 4-5% whisky ABV 40%, they are not one and the same thing merely because they contain alcohol or are made from malted barley.

Whether he cares or not I do not know but you have assumed that because drinks contain alcohol they are somehow a blight. I reject the premise and am willing to state that a good craft beet is in fact quite a healthy drink.

beet beer is best,
far better than the rest,
its deep red color,
reminds you of a lover,
on a moonlit night be kissed...

I don't think that alcohol in a beer is a blight at all. I think its well healthy!

An alcoholic will continue to drink beer until intoxication due to a 'physical malady' in their body. They experience a craving for more and more, that a 'normal' drinker does not. If you can have a few beers, then leave it alone....more power to you. But an alcoholic cannot stop, which could and usually does bring much trouble.

Thanks Dive.
Moderation can be very difficult, it has been for me.

I usually don't drink beer when I'm doing crafts: much easier just sniffing the glue.

Sir,
That is so true. We use to have a saying: 1 drink is to many and 1000 isn't enough. Most on here know and I am not ashamed of the fact I am an ex-alcoholic. Been sober now since March 22, 1992. It completely changed my life for the better. Seems like a whole different lifetime. Well I guess it was for me!

Most think they are social drinkers, yet they drink every day. Then one day they realize, Yes I do have a drinking problem. I wish all those trying to get away from the grasp of being an alcoholic all the best. Remember it is one day at a time!!!

I have admitted to being an alcoholic many times, then denial kicks in....and the attempt to moderate starts again, which usually ends badly. It's a terrible cycle, which I'm sure you can relate to.

I am currently sober, but I fight daily against the 'head games' that are in the mind, that tell me...."one or two won't hurt", and the cycle repeats. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

Normal drinkers don't understand alcoholics, and alcoholics don't understand a normal drinker, meaning how they are able to do it.
