Re: About those who drink alcohol
I have observed something interesting in this thread: When asked a question about drinking alcohol, most people can only think of alcoholics. Drinking only means getting drunk to many people here. A person can either be a non-alcoholic or a h***** alcoholic drunk :D and that gives an important clue about our way of thinking i.e. we cannot think of moderate scenarios rather we can only think of extremes. Sounds quite familiar if we look at the situation in Pakistan. This is unrelated to my original question but I found it worth mentioning here.
Before you criticize this mindset of going extreme and equate that with situation in Pakistan, try answering why alcohol consumption is not allowed in different situations I cited earlier in my post. (Driving, flying, working on a job, etc.)
Let me ask you quite blank:
Would you fly in a plane as a passegnger if you find out the pilot had few drinks before getting on plane and will you say: "Oh well, he is not drunk so I am fine, lets go fly I am getting late already!" :)
**The issue is simple. Its about freedom of choice.
It is not about racism, generalized hatred, not always about religiosity but even if it is about being religious so what?

*When people are free to not like to marry others based on millions and zillions of characteristics and habits, why all hell is being broken here on people who do not like to marry to a person who drinks alcohol?
*
Why same kind of criticism is not extended to those who do not like to marry with a person
who smokes
who is too tall
who is too short
who is too old or young
who is not much educated
who has an accent of any kind
etc. ???
Why those people are not grilled and asked if they hate sood khore, liars, cheaters etc????
