FishingBuds, I enjoy a cold beer periodically. But I guess to you losing loved family members, or watching relationships go south because of it. Including right now with a good friends marriage, is not traumatic enough. The point of it being an inanimate object still holds true, its not the alcohols fault, its the choice of the person using it. Life is full of heartache and chooses to be made. Blaming inanimate objects is never a justifiable response.
