No such thing as an excess of drink but plenty of excesses of sobriety as reflected in these messages.It depends what you want to do.
Do you have to be a slave of the workplace...ok then its a workplace and you get down on your knees and dry out.
If you are free to live life then make your own choice but there is nothing in the tradition that insists on any level of sobriety....
I dont interfere with tea totalers and they should not interfere with me.
