I hope so. I do not drink more true I can’t drink alcohol so I just hope and observe. I tend to think one little drink can fast become many little drinks

Yes.one or two..don't fall into a trap of oh l have one more.the truth is one more and another one more and so on until you're drunk that is bad

It's called self discipline.

I think that there is. Responsible drinking is doing it in moderation, putting a limit on how much alcohol you consume at one time, and if you're not at home, having either a plan to get home safely (no drinking and driving) either via a designated driver, taxi, rideshare, public transit, someone picking you up, volunteer programs that get people home safe (usually only during the holiday season), or if you're at a friend's or family member's house, staying the night.

I agrre of all statmend. I only drink in my house

I don't drink, but yes, I think so.

I have been affected by another person over drinking. It is not pretty. My only drinking is at a party (1 only). This is enough for me.

I agree with above statement. It's about control. Not getting drunk is the key! You can have a drink every night at dinner and stay in control.

That's me. I do not drink.

sure, if you have one or two thats not crazy

A resounding YES! As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I know that Jesus turned water into wine when they ran out at a wedding, and that he passed wine to his apostles at the last supper, so it's fine to drink, but not to be a drunkard. Just like it's fine to eat, but not to be a glutton! ;-D

Yes. I personally no longer drink alcohol. [for no reason, it just happened] However to not let alcohol rule one's life to drink in moderation when one does is responsible drinking in my mind. Also of course never drive after even one drink

Easy for me, I don't drink and drive and I drive everywhere, 1/2 glass of wine and I'm asleep.

The only thing responsible about "responsible drinking"...is being responsible enough to know that DRINKING ANY ALCOHOL IS POISON AND IT IS NOWHERE NEAR RESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!!! People LOVE to JUSTIFY their addictions and poor habits because it keeps their cocoon of comfortability OK for them. Newsflash...as a former IN DENIAL alcoholic and drug addict, I can tell you 100% the ONLY responsible thing is TO NEVER DRINK. Been sober and clean a while now and I never even think about it. I STOPPED justifying, making excuses, etc. even though it was not a big problem for me...the last 5 years of when I did drink I only drank 3-4 times a year, but even SAYING "Oh, I only drink this much, it's ok"....is justifying it. End of story...you are only responsible if you NEVER drink poison that harms you.Edited 15-Apr-25 04:43am

I do not drink and that's the most responsible. I do not need alcohol. I do not need alcohol in any form in my life.

Yes but very few follow it.

YES! KNOWING YOUR LIMIT IS RESPONSIBILITY

Yes. Like everything else, you should eat, drink in moderation.

My answer is, yes.

Of course

I'm only a social drinker therefore responsibility doesn't really enter into it for me. However for some alcoholism can lead to all the above plus deterioration of body and soul and I have witnessed this first hand and have been powerless to help this friend who will eventually kill himself. If your addicted responsible drinking won't apply.

Yes and you have described very well the steps you can take. It is just a matter of self dicispline and sticking to the plan.

Yes… a nightly glass of red wine with a clove of garlic is like an apple a day

well, if alcohol is a toxic substance to bodily organs and functions -which it is - can it be a responsible act to imbibe? I don't drink, but I do use wine in cooking occasionally, as long as the alcohol is cooked out. :P

yes for sure..!!

yes

As long as you don't drive after

Responsible living is whatever you eat and drink is the question.

I do not drink

NO

Is there such a thing as responsible drinking? NO! I am a recovering alcoholic - and I have been a recovering alcoholic for over 44 years (I haven't taken a drink in over 44 years - yet the urge to drink irresponsible will be in me (DNA) - till the day I die)! The only way you can drink responsible - IS NEVER DRINK ALCOHOL - EVER (PERIOD)!

Responsible people ...... I never drink more than 2 small glasses of wine and only when I am with people. I never drink and drive. I taught my children the same and they have a designated driver or walk home if near by or ring me. I lost too many of my friends to drunk drivers.

I LOVE ALL DRINKS AND LOVE LIFE AND Watch HOW MUCH I drink

I guess it depends on the person.

Of coursr there is. your are responsible for your behaviour when drinking .Specially in parties and public places.If you lose control after few drinks, better not drink or you make a fool of yourself. your choice.

NO NO NO

Yes, of course there is. Don't drink and drive, don't drink to excess. Enjoy a glass of wine with dinner but don't spend an evening drinking excessively. Everything in moderation.

NO!!!!! Saying this because I know a lot of functional and unfuncitional alcoholics.

I'll drink to that!
