I generally don't drink, because I've seen how it affected my father when he drank, and because I did a remarkable number of really stupid things while drunk in college, so about six or seven years ago, I decided I'd just not drink anymore. It isn't meant as a judgement regarding those who do drink, it's just how I feel about my drinking.
I'm not always completely on the wagon, though. Sometimes I'll have a dollop of brandy in my evening tea, and once in a great while I'll have a little wine. Last night I was having a bad night, and had a couple of glasses of wine to relax me, and it worked, but now I'm regretting it because I don't like the idea of dealing with my problems by dulling them with alcohol, and I was a little more . . . a little less in control in chat than I'm comfortable with, and ended up saying something potentially offensive that I later regretted. Note again, I'm only talking about myself, and not anybody else in this thread.
