No, but the mind does

Because of my kids I only drink one glass of wine/beer with dinner. It's just that sometimes the glass is bigger than others

The body doesn't need a lot of things and yet, how many of us can say we put nothing in our body it doesn't need. If someone claims that, they are probably kidding themselves.. Most of us do not binge drink either, that is normally for the very young...Or the person who has a drinking problem..Do you put desserts into your body, or how about caffine?

I am glad you take such good care of your body. I wonder how much longer it will last than those of us who enjoy our wine, beer or scotch...

I wonder how many people here talking about "evil" alcohol also drink soda and/or eat fast food, are smokers or don't excercise or do other things that are unhealthy.

I enjoy drinking (in moderation!). I actually like the taste of many types of alcoholic drinks and enjoy the relaxing affect since I'm a somewhat tense and stressed out person a lot of the time. I also know how to limit myself and not let it control my life.

And for the record, I work out regularly and eat healthy most of the time and almost never drink soda or eat fast food and don't smoke. I'm not about to let somebody else tell me how "bad" alcohol is.

People with addictive tendencies drink too much because they have addictive tendencies.
The rest of us drink for the buzz, but then stop.

Studies show they don't live any longer than the people that indulge a bit.

Unless you drink non-alcoholic beer, the ethanol in those organic beers is toxic.... if toxicity is your concern.
