The intake of Alcohol can not be justified for any reason.
I have seen cases where Respected Men lost all their dignity due to Alchohol Abuse.
Just like @charles1 said, the government is looking away from the dangers of Alcohol due to the revenue they get from it, but i think that it is a matter that should seriously be looked into.
I have never taken a bottle of Beer or Gin and nothing will ever make me take it till i die.
