Christian women don’t mind a loud drunk that gets into fights, and tries to rape a woman. The Pope is rooting for Kavanaugh who is a Catholic! Here is a priest on beer.

The ideal is that you don’t want to get to the point where you feel overly giddy or lose coordination of your limbs, etc. A positive criterion might be this: When you feel relaxed, that is a good time to stop drinking. After that point there could be “diminishing returns” in a moral sense — meaning that you are putting yourself in danger of serious sin beyond that moment. This is because excessive drinking robs us of our reason and leads us to act in destructive ways that simply are not in harmony with our own human dignity and the dignity of those around us. It is not a sin just because it is on the list of sins. Rather, it is on the list of sins because it is contrary to our dignity and damaging to the constructive use of our freedom that is essential to our friendship with God.
If ever in doubt about whether you crossed the line, then just go to confession and put it behind you and resolve not to cross the line again.
Your example of moderate (or no) drinking can be a very powerful example to those around you. And such a habit will spare you a lot of grief throughout your life.
Moreover, you might want to be careful not to build your social life around drinking. That tends to drag down your circle of acquaintances over time, or puts you in the wrong circles to begin with.
In his second scathing speech from the Senate floor in as many weeks, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday predicted that Democrats wanted nothing less than a “totally unbounded fishing expedition of indefinite duration” into the accusations against Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh in order to “delay this matter past the election.”
Comparing Senate Democrats’ behavior to Mccarthyism, McConnell, R-Ky., vowed there would be a final vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation in the Senate this week, saying “the time for endless delay and obstruction has come to a close.”
Almost immediately after the FBI started its additional review of Kavanaugh, top Democrats who had demanded the probe openly suggested the bureau would be improperly influenced by the White House, and that its investigation lacked legitimacy. For his part, President Trump has said he authorized the FBI to interview “whoever they deem appropriate.”
“If you listen carefully, Mr. President, you can practically hear the sounds of the Democrats moving the goalposts,” McConnell said. He added later: “Their goalposts keep shifting. But their goal hasn’t moved an inch. Not an inch.
“Do these actions suggest this has ever been about finding the truth?” McConnell asked. “Anybody believe that?”
Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, a member of the Judiciary Committee, answered in the negative later in the day, telling Fox News, “If you think this is a search for the truth, you probably ought to put down the bong. .. This entire thing makes me want to heave. it could be a series on Netflix. You could call it, ‘As The Stomach Turns.’”
