The generalization of a bad deed is not justifiable though, I would suggest you to check your capacity with a positive orientation. It is not that how much you drink and how much you can withstand. This is the time for your planning for a better future. Check what are the things acceptable can be done for your betterment with the regard of society. The spiritual side of your mind and your friends say you to abstain; but your pleasure drive says you to stick to it. The animal instinct of seeking pleasure is natural, but it does not assure you of any guarantee of your maintaining better future, career, relations and overall health. Have some gratification for the future as well. If you find yourself unable to stop or abstain from the habit of drinking, check for the de-addiction program available in town or elsewhere.
