Well I didn't say that. I even did some of the things you used as examples while we have been talking.
Didn't do that either.
Look your not cool enough to enjoy alcohol I get it. But I never said any of those things are good. Driving is driving, rape is rape.
There are current good times with alcohol. Just a the culture from the good old times has gone. But it was good then and what's good now is still too.
I would love to see some some scientific proof there is "no real benefit" to alcohol because I bet my life a lot of people found great friends and partners though alcohol, never mind the fun and culture previously mentioned aspects.
Look no one is forcing you to drink. Chill out man. You can go be boring somewhere else.
"Driving is driving, rape is rape" is as stupid to say as "guns don't kill people, people kill people".
And you want to see what science is saying, just go take a glance at the wikipedia page since you obviously never did. Probably the biggest list of negative effects I've seen on wikipedia, and I can't find anything really positive. And making friends through alcohol just means that you find friends that share your alcoholism, but people also make a lot of friends without the need for alcohol.
No one is forcing me to drink, sure (assuming that it is true and that refusing a drink is not something that could cost you a job for example), but they do force me to be in danger because of the dangerous behaviours caused by alcohol. Once again, it's a bit like saying "don't complain about guns, no one is forcing you to have one". The difference being that guns are probably much less popular and dangerous than alcohol in most countries.
