My wife’s ok with it so I can’t be that bad

And she doesn’t drink

I don't believe that you're putting no one else at risk. I also don't believe that libertarianism is compatible with family.

What would happen if she wasn't okay with it?

Well Im a pretty hardcore Libertarian and we have a pretty healthy and happy family by most metrics I think

By Kevin Jr.'s standard of the government looking out for the general welfare of the people, and porn is bad for welfare, you'd have to look at anything that decreases welfare (by some standard). Alcohol is gone, cigs are gone, but also other stuff. We'd have a serious crackdown via the FDA. All food would have to be healthy, and quantities monitored, etc. It just gets out of control using this logic.

Lol @ worrying about health side effects from.heavy drinking, everyone knows it to be myth

Nobody dies from.booze

^ has never seen an alcoholic get cirrhosis and die

Well. Thats a good question. I wouldn’t leave my family to keep drinking

But I’d also discuss with her what the problems are if she had them and why I can’t responsibly indulge in a minor vice

How minor is it really? Does it alter your behavior?

I seem to have full control of it. Im not hungover in the mornings never miss work

Dont start drinking until 7

Usually asleep by 11

Get a good buzz going and keep it at that level

I go through about a handle of whiskey a week or so

If she gave a good reason (ie finances, change in behavior that she is noticing etc.) What then?

Well if she had her bags packed and ready to go?

I’d quit drinking

But like I said she doesn’t seem to care

By the way, I only ask this, because my parents went thought this. My parents went into debt due to my dad's drinking

Oh damn sorry to hear that

Ive got an allowance for drinkjng

$60 a month

Lolol as long as you dont go over haha

I drink plastic squeeze bottle whiskey

I don’t. Though I enjoy Christmas becuase people buy me good scotch

And Im not relegated to squeeze bottle whiskey

I fully admit it seems like a lot

Like when the handle is empty Im like damn i just bought this a week ago

But hot damn I love drinking

I can't tell if the people questioning you just don't drink at all or just really want to know more about your drinking in general.

Its probably a mix of concern and curiosity

Of course any normal person like me would look in the mirror and say ‘is this a problem?’

For me, I come from a family of addicts. Who had that same way of thinking before things got bad.

And it doesn’t seem to be, based on all I said above. It seems to be something I can control and have controlled for a decade

And I know not everyone is the same, but bells still go off

Okay so related - I got a beer advent calendar on 12/1 for early Xmas

All European beer
