Yes if you can, try to drink in moderation.

My husband is 1/2 Sicilian and LOVES his wine. That being said, we usually enjoy one glass a week--usually with Sunday dinner.

Just being RESPONSIBLE for your actions NO MATTER how much you consume. By law you just pass an alcohol breath test. Many people have driven while intoxicated and don't remember driving.

Yes

Of course there is. Don't drink to get drunk and make sure you drink in moderation. A glass of wine with dinner is more than enough.

yes and you must determine and realise your limit

Yes there is i believe

yes it is called COMMON SENSE or ALL THING IN MODERATION

I think it’s possible

You just limit your self to one drink. I don't drink but if I did this is what I would do.

I think there IS such a thing. Anything is possible, and if you actively/consciously want to do this, you can. People need to just admit when they mess up, because we are human and flawed after all, but need to also stop blaming their behavior on someone/something else.

Yes

Of course there is! I can vouch for that. I only drink occasionally, such as on special occasions, and I have one drink.

YES AND I AM ONE OF THEM .I CAN HAVE A DRINK OR TWO AND NOT HAVE ANY MORE .WHEN AT A PARTY THIS I VERY IMPORTANT FOR OTHERS THINK OF YOU IF YOU OVER DRINK BUT THATS ME MIKE

Personal choice

Yes. Woof Woof!

Of course there is. Lot around even just your group...

There is - but there are also irresponsible people - and others who unfortunately cannot control their consumption.

Of course there is. All of my family drink alcohol, either socially or with a meal. I'm a t totaler so well aware of who is drinking what, when and how much.

Of course there's such a thing as responsible drinking. I have no more than 2 when I have a drink and I have them 4-5 times a year

Not on Fri night lol

Yes, everyone has the ability to drink responsibly but not all of us do.

Yes! Of course, everyone should be mindful of their limits, and where to stop it! This is responsible drinking!

Yes there is such a thing as "responsible drinking". Whether or not any individual person is capable of doing it is an entirely different question - some can, some can't ... and some like me can't stand the smell or taste of alcohol, so isn't relevant anyway. 🙂 Alcohol is technically a drug (as is caffeine) , so some people can easily get addicted to it.

Yes. I believe so. Depends on what you drink,knowing you own limits. As well as how often or when you drink. Experts say if you Have to drink every day regardless of how little you have a problem. Or if you drink alone you have a problem. Listen to your own body do what's right for you. At my age I drink sparingly, usely a celebratory one. I go for months without having any. But each to their own.

Yes monitoring how much you drink

Of course, there is responsible drinking. Being aware of your limits, not drinking to excess to the point where it harms your your body, mental health or others. Addiction is a whole other issue. Alcohol can he very enjoyable both in taste & in it's relaxing effect & enjoying it in moderation is perfectly fine. My personal choice would be bourban or sparkling wine.

Of course. Alcohol is not the problem, people are

yes - one glass or serve

If you drink until you are not responsible, that is not responsible. So 1 glass less is responsible.

Don't spill any!!!

Personally, I never understood the popularity of drinking. Beer smells and tastes horrible to me. I hate hard liquor. I like a few sweet drinks such as screwdrivers, but haven't had a drink in at least 25 years. I don't miss it at all. It's expensive for one, and sadly it causes a lot of accidents, divorces, grief & death. If you want to get drunk, drink at home.

yes, just as there is a responsible diet, responsible driving...etc etc.....there are limits for everything, sometimes these are imposed on us (by laws), sometimes they are also self imposed....

Who wants to be responsible when they're drinking ...really ? I know i don't .It's a juxtaposition of terms. Fortunately i don't feel the need these days to go more than a few relaxing one's very occasionally instead of overboard, a bit more regularly as when i was younger. However, anyone with an addictive nature is NEVER safe to try out this " Responsible Theory" be it drinking ,drugs or gambling . A " Responsible "drug user per say wouldn't leave sharps around and would sterilise their equipment ..not buy / sell to or from kids. A responsible gambler would put a limit on how much they could pump into a machine on a daily basis .. A responsible drinker only has to need " one drink every night ?" One glass ..one bottle? ... yet they are still all causing damage to themselves habitually and taking time away from what's important in their lives. And no I am not judging, it's very understandable in most cases and it's more common than people know. In effect ,it's a shonky term. Edited 15-Apr-25 15:33pm

Yes

Yes, but you've got to take into account your weight, general health and make sure YOU take control. If someone refills your glass without asking then it is up to you to decided whether or not to drink it. If you want to stay in control then just leave the refilled glass untouched. You don't HAVE to drink it. When I go out with friends I designate myself as the Designated Driver because I would rather not drink any alcohol at all and this gets around any possible awkwardness.Edited 15-Apr-25 14:25pm

Yep.

Yes

Yes, being the designated driver when out with family or friends. Choosing to savor a wine with a meal instead of getting sloshed and spewing.

Yes there is such a thing as responsible drinking for some people, but there are a lot of people who are able to achieve this. I haven't touched alcohol for 30 years now, just not interested in it at all.

Yes...like a glass of fine dry wine with a plate of fresh oysters at a restaurant by a lake. My secret indulgence each payday with my partner. And also, responsibility means not just drinking too much...it means on those certain occasions that alcohol consumption may increase, that you have a designated driver so that you are not a danger to others. (or make sure there is a place to sleep at your place for a friend after a BBQ/party)

F course theie is , I have one medium glass of red wine every day after dinner, And I am still going strong lolEdited 15-Apr-25 13:42pm

No. Any amount of alcohol can have an impact on your brain health. Obviously some levels are more responsible than others, but I don't personally think drinking can be a fully responsible thing to do

Yes. I only ever have one small glass of wine. Have never been drunk. But I think it is an addiction with some people and goes a lot deeper.

Yes. One or two of your favorite drinks can be very relaxing. Just don't drink and drive.

Yes, use the self control God gave you. YOU really don't need to drink alcohol at all.

Yes...

For some, yes. But for me, no. I can not open a bottle of New Zealand’s finest Marlborough Sauvignon and have just one glass only. I need to simply NOT purchase and consume any alcohol whatsoever and attend AA meetings

Yes I cannot believe that no one knows how to have 1or 2 drinks without getting fall down drunk. Drinking at home at not getting behind the wheel of a car if you even had 1 drink. If you can not achieve this then by all means do not drink. Then again what about responsible eating or spending or shopping everything has limits.

when you are with friends and they show the example to stop

Yes, I am usually the designated driver (99.9% of the time) so others can have a drink.

yes

Yes most people drink responsibly

Yes mainly for health reasons

yes there is a such thing as responsible drinking. I drink a glass of wine a day to mello out my nerves from working so hard it helps me relax

wherever drinking is going on there is usually someone responsible

Yes!

Yeah as long as you choose to act responsibly

Yes, you just need to want to be responsible for your actions.

Yes. I'm a recovering alcoholic, 11 years sober. My daughter sets rules for herself: Don't drink when you're down. Don't drink alone. I'm so damn proud of her

Yes, it is dependent on self control though which many struggle with

I certainly feel there can be, but you have to have a limit, the right state of mind and a back up plan if it all fails.

U just explained it

Of course there is, it is just some people can't handle booze.

I drink responsibly ever hour....

Yes for most people but some just cannot limit themselves. I always restrict myself when out for dinner or at a party, social gathering. I want to get home safely and not ruin other people's lives if I have a crash.

most people yes but some can not have any alcohol at all.

Well I am a 24 year recovering alcoholic. For me no, but for others I don't see a problem with it. So to answer your question...yes.Edited 16-Apr-25 00:24am

Depends on the person and their makeup and personality.

There is a responsible drinking however I did work for community health some years ago & drinking was part of the program , there is a difference between having a drink every day & having to have a drink every day, I have one drink on Saturday night sometimes although sometimes there are more than one . Saturday night in a week, I do not like drinking alone & must feel like it to have one. I you want a house or pay our rent it is something you can do without & save for that dream.

Yes, for most people.

Yes

Yes! As an ex-publican, I have seen both sides of this coin! My husband and I have a drink every evening but we never get drunk (except on rare occasions at a party or something) and we are fully functional, responsible adults who both have full time jobs - his being a truck driver. A drink or two in the evening is something we enjoy - not a necessity. Our neighbours, on the other hand, get drunk every day. They are a lovely elderly couple who are enjoying their retirement with afternoon tipples but they never cause any hassles and put themselves to bed when they have had enough. Another example of responsible drinking in my opinion. Edited 15-Apr-25 10:07am

Yes

Yes I can live without alcohol not a problem

yes i think i do i have a drink every night with my dinner if going out will have a couple then get a uber home

Yes. I know a lot of people who drink responsibly.

Responsible drinking is definitely doable however if a person has an addictive personality and has a problem with alcohol consumption then all logic is lost and they are unable to stop once they start.

Yes definitely. When going out I limit myself to 2 glasses of wine with water as well.

I may have half a can of a Smirnoff lemon or orange vodka drink on Christmas Eve at the family party. That's my limit for the year. I believe that's responsible. So, yes, there is such a thing as responsible drinking..

A lack of stout for health reasons can be a problem

don't let drinking control you are have a friend that are willing to drive you home that away to be safe

I think there is responsible drinking. I know people who make sure they have a safe ride home so they can have a few drinks

Responsible drinking is, being prepared in terms of travel, having someone with you, having accomodation, financially aware. It doesnt matter if someone has 1 or 5 drinks as long as someoe has a plan and doesnt get crazy drunk/sick is responsible. and only drinking every now end then

Not until peoplr are responsible!!

If you can stick to one standard drink or less a day and not let alcohol run your life then you are responsibly drinking.

I don't understand because I have never drunk any Alcholic drink. I would say no.

Of course.

It's up to you we can't blame anyone else for how much we drink.

of course

Absolutely - just exercise willpower !!

Absolutely.

Swallowing slowly. Seriously, drink as much water that your body says that you need......all of the other stuff is just you conducting experiments- win some, lose some?

All things in moderation.

Of course there is

Of course there is if you want it

yes I do it responsibly everyday

HI JANN R TY....

Yes I think so no body should drink to get drunk to me that is just stupid you can have one drink a day and red wine is good for you but never drink more than one drink a day
