How to replace too much booze in the gay world??
Artiste:
Thanks Jeff Wrangler, brokeback_dev, Scott, Shakestheground, and all others!!
It is great to hear from you!! It is a known fact that Coors beer would NOT have survive in the USA without the GAY MEN boozing!! Therefore, that too many gay men supporting such ANTI-GAY co's scares me!! Plus, the health of too many gays are also drained! I have lost too many of my friends to such booze; they are now dead and I miss them!!
Because there is now a client in the gallery, will come back later to read your news,
hugs!

I never said you couldn't, but tell that to the gay male masses. :(
My point was that people go to the bars to meet tricks. Around here, they do have the option of buying cans of soda or bottles of water to drink at ridiculously inflated prices, but many, many men don't go that route. They go right for the liter mugs of lager.

Bars are still a primary venue through which gay man can hook up, and in some communities may essentially be the only option (barring potentially dangerous or legally perilous avenues such as cruising the parks or tearooms). And bars exist to sell alcohol, and people drink alcohol to loosen up and feel less inhibited (I don't know about anyone else, but cruising has always made me extremely nervous). So alcohol will likely remain a central factor in many gay people's lives for the forseeable future. Myself though, I will continue to opt for the colas and orange juice at inflated prices (insofar as I can even imagine myself going out clubbing in the future).
ifyoucantfixit:
Alcohol is only a problem when people abuse it...Or drink it and drive, or go home and
abuse their families..There is no excusing either of those activities.
By itself it is no better or worse than the person who drinks it..Moderation is fine. It loosens up the person, and if that person is shy and introverted, if it gives them easier rein to mix and feel comfortable...Why not.
However having said that. I dont see in my limited experience, that gays or straights, are any different, when it comes to use of alcohol....There are drunks in both groups, and T- totallers in
both as well. Most people drink in social situations. And why not, if they want to do so...If they
choose not to do so..That should be ok as well....Live and let live...no judgements, or recriminations.

Interesting replies and thanks!!
It remains that alcohol is not good for you at all; it even burns the brain cells!!
Plus creates bad habits of drinking booze, plus others dangers.
Worst is that it worsens even sex; how many can NOt get it on then... and become worst more and more!!
That is too evident with all my experiences sexually with others!!
It remains that alcohol should and could be replaced, as some ideas you give; any others??
Hugs!!
