I am 100% against alcohol and believe the drink is straight from hell.
I want to see what others think.
Never. People who don´t know how to drink are the real problem.
Prohibition doesn´t work. It failed during the depression and the "War on Drugs" is a total disaster. People who really want to drink or use drugs will always find a way to do so, whether legal or not.

Of course not. What kind of Mediterranean European would I be if I did?
NOOOOO definitely not! haha not in a million years!
Add a few more cars onto your train of thought and see were we go from there Some why's, wherefores and so on will help. I'm neither for or against and am a former comsumer of the spirit by not by my choice.

for this is the chalice of my blood,
the blood of the new and eternal covenant.
which will be poured out for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins .
Do this in memory of me."
