Is alcohol a pleasure or hazard?

Alcohol can be both a pleasure and a hazard, depending on how it is used. For some people who are called "social drinkers," a beer or a glass of wine can be pleasant, a nice part of spending some time with friends over a good meal or at a sports event. In other words, social drinkers are able to enjoy a drink as part of being with their friends, but if alcohol is not served, they are not upset about it and can still have a good time.

Alcohol can be a hazard for the people who are not able to be social drinkers. Some people have an addictive personality and they cannot just have one or two drinks. Once they get started, they are not able to stop. People with the disease of Alcoholism have this problem, and it can destroy relationships, cause them to be fired from jobs, or cause injury in a drunk-driving accident.

There are some people who believe that alcohol in moderation is perfectly acceptable, but others say it is an addictive substance that should be avoided. Certain religions (Islam, Mormonism) recommend not drinking alcohol at all; and there are also some people (myself among them) who have just decided on their own that they choose not to drink alcohol. It really depends on your own attitude about it, and it is a decision you should make wisely. You should not feel obligated to drink if you do not want to, but if you are able to drink in moderation, you may find it can be an enjoyable experience.
