Many Startup owners and entrepreneurs will be slightly scared about them getting in to alcoholism.

But lets get things straight.

I am "heavy" drinker in my opinion drinking on average 1,5 litre of whiskey a week. Is it a lot in statistics? No. Do I think its a lot? Yes. Do I have a problem? No. I can stop for a month without trying (doing a test every 3-4 months for 2 weeks just in case).

Alcohol helps to release stress. As old saying says - the very first time you will taste the vodka and you think its tasty - you have a problem pal. Serious problem.

Same with Whiskey or Gin.

Any strong alcohol will do actually.

Just use it as relaxing method, not substitute to happiness, and you will be good. Dont feel bad if you drink more alcohol than Yahoo statistics say. Just use common sense - anything in excess is harmful.
