14. My Opining In my opinion Its best to stay away from drinks at all time, in order to live well. It’s that simple. I know lots of people who drink, my father and one of my grandfather’s and all my uncles and lots of people on my street. Only one of my grandfathers drink and the other one did but now he is not and he is in AA he ahs stopped for along time.
