    Science says completely otherwise

    The only science relevant to if something is “normal” in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise

    Human consumption of alcohol is older than society, it’s very normal and natural for humans to drink. We’re not even the only animal aware of alcohol and it’s effects

      Well, only if you disregard your health completely. And speaking about social issues:

      "Even moderate drinking by parents can leave children feeling embarrassed or worried or lead to their bedtime being disrupted, according to the study led by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS). "

          There was a time I drunk af, to being unconcious. Now I see this was completely stupid, I wouldn’t do it again and I am sober since almost a year. I am not offended by called square, I learned to find pleasure in simple things like music or tea or yerba mate or reading. Whatever you choose, take care about yourself!
