Master of Arts
Greetings. I'd like to get a general feel for what everyone here, martial artists or not, thinks about drinking. Pretty broad question, so I think I'll start it off with a few guiding questions.
1. Do you think that moderate drinking can be healthy, or at least not be detrimental to one's health and well-being, or do you think that any amount of alcoholic consumption is a bad sign? Why?
2. Is it possible to drink responsibly, like all the beer commercials say?
3. Can drinking interfere with martial arts studies? By this, I don't mean does getting drunk and then going to sessions cause a problem--that answer is an obvious yes. I am more curious as to whether someone who drinks is impairing their overall development by doing so.
4. How would you honestly deal with a good friend of yours who you realize has a drinking problem?
5. Finally, just for grins, if anyone has any stories that mix alcohol with martial arts, please share.
Thank you ahead of time.
