Thank you, Kat, for a lovely fresh perspective. Maybe we're all just a bit too uptight and worried these days. Excess use of alcohol can lead to very serious negative consequences such as alcoholism, spousal abuse, and drunk driving and should be carefully guarded against. However, moderate drinking with friends clearly has its benefits. A drink or several with friends can absolutely dull the sharp edges and allow a sense of joy often not found when protective walls are erected and strictly maintained. And as a Christian (Baptist) I have always found it particularly interesting to note that the very first miracle performed by Jesus Christ was to turn water into wine (very good wine, btw) at a wedding celebration!
