Mom is a horrid alcoholic and addict, and I don’t know my dad but I imagine he is/was a drunk to some extent to. For that reason all thru college I’ve never touched alcohol or any other drugs. I’m turning 21 soon and want to have a nice fire with some buddies. Growing up in Wisco I’ve been around it my whole life, it’s just what you do after work every day lol. I know responsible guys that won’t let me go too far, and I don’t even want to get drunk. It’s a social thing. But is it wise to even try? I hear a lot of recovering alcoholics say it started as an occasional thing and slowly got worse before they realized. idk. Let me know what you boys think submitted by /u/carlito714
