Is Alcohol a Bad Thing?

I think that a lot of it comes down to just being aware, like more self-aware of like intentions and being conscious of our reasons for doing things. But if it's coming from a pure place of curiosity and passion and interest, I can't find anything wrong with that. If you're pursuing something out of this form of curiosity because it's very meaningful to you, then it can be good. But if you're professing a belief or whatever because it's been forced on to you or something that you feel like you have no choice but to accept given your environment upbringing or whatever, then it could become a bad thing.
