It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.
Drinking habits were very prevalent among men, and were not in any way disgraceful, unless excessive.
The point of drinking in moderation is that sometimes you don't drink in moderation.
One can drink too much, but one never drinks enough.
Of course one should not drink much, but often.
I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly and it's never acceptable to drink and drive!
The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.
Sugary drinks are blamed for increasing the rates of chronic disease and obesity in America. Yet efforts to reduce their consumption through taxes or other measures have gone nowhere. The beverage industry has spent millions defeating them.
I see that a man cannot give himself up to drinking without being miserable one half his days and mad the other.
I envy people who drink - at least they know what to blame everything on.
