Well Jit bro..I will try answering your questions but don't take it personally..end of the day its almost impossible that 2 people agree on each others opposite principles
You mentioned that living is injurious to health too..pollution, dirty water, etc.. but then don't you want to correct all negative things? Don't you try to live a healthy life through your yoga n martial arts? Similarly, drinking is not really a good habit hence we should try to avoid it..
One good reason to live : Attain the knowledge of that superpower by crossing this stage of life ...
You say 'Beer makes you feel good and your always drink in limits n don't drink n drive'- I don't deny that..but let me know following things
- Whats your or that socially acceptable limit for beer or rest of the booze stuff
- In what way do you enjoy by drinking it in limits? As far as I have heard, these things give enjoyment only when you cross the limits - when u just fly in a different world oblivious of anything around you...
- And has it ever happened that you had beer with your friends and all of you were totally aware of your surroundings and could drive to your home in need be? Pls. try telling truth
I believe you know the term DUI (Driving under Influence)..I was checking some facts about DUI incidents and got this info : "Fact: A 12-ounce beer, a glass of wine, and a shot of liquor all contain about the same amount of alcohol.
Half of all DUI arrests involve beer alone."
If possible, try going first few paragraphs of this link :

Lastly, everybody does things for his enjoyment only but when that enjoyment endangers others life, it becomes dangerous and deplorable. Finally, not every drinking person is a bad person, I am sure >70% would be good human beings otherwise (you included ) but habits like drinking can impair his thoughts for a second and he can be responsible for someone's life n dignity..
Baki zindagi bahut chhoti hai, enjoy it the way you want but not at the cost of others..and I sincerely believe you control your friends to the accepted limit ( Do tell me though what is it?)
