Being Bad

Well, everyone will have their own perceptions on what is right and wrong. However, I believe a good generalization that represents what most people consider bad is simply this: if it hurts yourself, other people or the environment. Being bad is probably defined as following temptations you know are a bad idea and that will cause bad things to happen.
Being bad is also a perception and how society around us explains what is bad and what is good, so something bad to one person can be entirely good to another so it differs from person to person and from culture to culture....

Poor me, Pour me another!!

Have you ever felt so low that all you think of is getting drunk to dull the pain. Do you ever feel so bored that you drink just because it is something to do. Even worst do you drink so that you feel confident and people will like you.

Is excessive drinking (binge drinking) a fashionable way of being called an alcoholic?

Alcoholism is the consumption of or preoccupation with alcoholic beverages to the extent that this behavior interferes with the alcoholic's normal personal, family, social, or work life. Alcohol consumption caused by alcoholism can result in psychological and physiological conditions, and ultimately in death. Alcoholism is one of the world's most costly drug use problems; with the exception of nicotine addiction, alcoholism is more costly to most countries than all other drug use problems combined.

In common usage, binge drinking is now usually used to refer to heavy drinking over an evening or similar time span - sometimes also referred to as heavy episodic drinking. Binge drinking is often associated with drinking with the intention of becoming intoxicated and, sometimes, with drinking in large groups. It is sometimes associated with physical or social harm.
