And so much happiness! I'm more of a beer man myself, but drinking alcohol in good company is something millions (billions?) of people get pleasure out of. Only a small proportion of alcohol users harm themselves or others through it.

Oh, I'm completely on board with the happiness! Sometime ago I quoted "loud music, alcohol and girls" as the closest thing to "eternal values" or "meaning of life" that I have :-) But I live in Russia and can see the misery of others, because I'm not blind. Alcoholism is a huge problem here.
