I've never taken a drink in my life without the specific intention of getting drunk.
In my mind there's no other reason to consume alcohol. That's why I never question that I'm an Alcoholic.
As far as drinking while carrying goes, I really don't have a dog in this fight. I never took a legal drink. I ended up in rehab when I was 17.
I don't go to bars. I haven't been in an actual bar since I was required to attend a mandatory "Team Building" event my company held in a bar in Colorado Springs in the early 2000s. I've sat in the bar area of a few restaurants but that's about it.
I don't even know if there's a bar in Hooterville.
ETA I looked it up, Hooterville has a population of <800 and four bars.
So, I said all that to say that alcohol really doesn't play any part in my life so it's not something I ever really think about.
