My position in terms of that which is founded in science is that alcohol is harmful, even in moderate amounts.

My personal opinion, however, is that people can do whatever they like, if it doesn't harm others. And taxation on alcohol likely covers the cost of health care for the damage it produces.

My only issue is that people aren't honest with themselves regarding the harmful properties of alcohol. If someone wanted to drink, and admits it's harmful, and doesn't care, then how can I complain? Pretending it isn't harmful, however, is retarded.
