If you wish to take in alcohol in any form then I will suggest the following...

You may harm yourself and this may be an acceptable outcome for you, like part of the risk. Yet the risk becomes smaller as you become drunker [hehe]
ie. You feel less of a responsability for your own well being as you drink more.

But consider that your actions have a bearing on other peoples lives. If you are intoxicated to any level (read this as one drink or many drinks) your actions may well cause other people problems. May it be pissing in the street or falling infront of a car or train, you will effect other peoples lives with your actions while under the inflence of alcohol. It is a good thing to enjoy alcohol with food and in social events, but to inflict your drunkeness on other people should be considered very bad mannors.

It may be OK for you to throw yourself infront of a car but what of the driver of that car that see's a person thrust themself into the road infront of their car and has to make a spit desicion?

Believe me, in that I have been out clubbing and more then once have seen drunk people hit by cars. It is never a good end to what was a good night.

Drink sensibly
