There are choices and preferences. If someone wants to marry a drinker their choice,and if someone doesn’t he/she doesn’t. Why are people upset over the responses?
Problem is that why is this the only social evil that gets such high visibility? Tell me honestly Captain, is alcoholism the real issue of downfall of present muslim ummah and especially Pakistani community? If we look at the percentage, Alcohol related problem is almost a non issue in our society, but somehow it gets such a high visibility that real issues get the back seat. We all know that Alcohol is haram. That chapter has been closed 1400 years ago already. Take the blinders off (not talking to you but in general), and lets talk about the real issues, shall we.
Well this whole topic was about asking people if they’d like to marry someone who drinks or not. So people are only responding to the topic. So are you saying there’s a problem because people are saying they don’t want to marry people who drink or is there a problem because other social evils are not being discussed? If you think that not discussing other social evils is a problem then fine but there’s absolutely no problem with people saying they wouldn’t marry a drinker, particularly in a discussion about just that.
Never been to such a party (and no desire to attend it), but I do know how it ends.
Afterwards you see them lying semi unconsciously on the street, in their own piss and vomit. Not knowing where they are, what they did, whom they did it to, what others did to them.
Oh Deeba, you never hit a nerve. The only person who gets it on her nerves, is you.
As for your death-obsession, It’s not just about living under the roof with your brother in deaths. It also goes for being alone with any na mehram; be it your best male buddy you know since high school that, or your favourite cousin, or whoever. They are all death.
But ok, to make you happy: ‘alcohol is awesome. We should all drink it all night long. It is not disturbing at all. It is cool. So are skimpy clothes, and tattoos, and some other things.’
Now you just sit tight, Le Pak, and wait for the more enlightened ones to tell you how not every drinker ends up in a horizontal position on a sidewalk in their own vomit and piss…and that some actually make it to their beds unscathed and without hurting others and can perform amazing mental and physical feats with an adroitness that is otherwise lacking in their more sober and unadulterated states. That is your punishment for not including the disclaimer that effects of alkyhaal vary from person to person.
Or wait…maybe nobody will correct you. I might have stolen their thunder. Bad RV!
