Ya it was more about the social aspect. But the health problems can expand into social issues by violence from brain damage and withdrawal can as well.
And ya I kinda decide how much I drink before I start. I say "no more than 3" but ill usually stop at 1 or two.

idk if there is definitive connection with violence caused from brain damage from alcohol. but if that is a fact, depending on how many people it actually effects, then it does disrupt society. i think that would be pretty hard to prove rather than just having a correlation.

I don't think alcohol causes violence, I think it brings out the emotions which when your inhibitions are lowered, you tend to act more on your impulses.

Being mentally weak doesn't make you a violent drunk, but violent drunks are mentally weak people.

I think any kind of of drug addiction limits potential. The term "wasted" is pretty subjective though (except in this case cause its quite literal ) But general speaking, I think any time you stick to one repetitive task you lose sight of all the possibilities in your life. Physical health aside, I don't think it's much worse than constantly being absorbed in the tv or your smart phone or your job or any of that. Each of those make you equally dull and will drive depression and poor personal upkeep.
In fact I have a bigger problem with Internet addiction that drug addiction and if anything is limiting my potential, it's the amount of time I sit here rereading the same threads, hoping something interesting will come up rather than enjoying a hike, a nice article on something novel and informative, painting, or a guitar session

Plenty of great writers, musicians, political leaders etc. have been heavy drinkers. They may not have been very happy or healthy necessarily, but they did get some shit done in their lifetimes that had a lasting impact on humanity. Did those people waste their lives? Depends who you ask.

Alcoholism definitely takes something away from you (other than your physical health).
It dulls emotion a lot.
I remember when I stopped drinking for a month. I became emotional like a little girl...

There are many highly functional and successful heavy drinkers/alcoholics.
They are doctors, nurses, executives, lawyers, and business owners. They have families, education, and they take care of themselves both physically and financially.
OP, maybe your uncle was a person who couldn't succeed in life, and he is now very bitter, and maybe drinking was part of HIS issue, but it doesn't hold everyone back.

Clearly yes. All they did is drink and write.
Seems pretty shitty to me

Weed has never made me stop, or forget to take care of myself. Amphetamines have, and im sure alcohol and many other addictions could as well. weed may be addicting, but it is nowhere near as detrimental as the harder drugs.
