Most Turks are special ocassion drinkers, i think most participants of this surves said no even though they drink on special events.Buddy why do we stuck in 2 extremes? Be moderate. You can always drink occasionally and remain completely sane. My father drinks occasionally but I have never seen him losing control.
Alcohol is haram
Alcohol is not strictly haram but highly discouraged to drink it. Its Makruh.
not a hardcore one but yeah
I actually have a soft spot for them
What an absurd thread..Who cares if we drink alcohol or not? Thats noone`s business
What do you expect from a filthy people who act like the pigs and monkeys they believe they'll eventually reincarnate as, assuming they aren't mindless beasts already, in a country that seems to be nothing more than one large pool of drunken rapists?
Maybe all of their mothers were drinking alcohol while they were still in the womb which could explain why they're so retarded.
Very true and it's haram and for very good reasons.
""There is no such thing as a safe level of alcohol consumption"
- Prof. David Nutt DM FRCP FRCPsych FMedSciThere is no such thing as a safe level of alcohol consumption | Professor David Nutt | Science | theguardian.com
Studies have shown it's even worse than crack and heroin:

Here is a small interview with the same Prof. David Nutt and why he knows the government refused to listen to him regarding alcohol and fired him from his chief drug advisory position under the Labour government:
I actually met a friend of mine, a revert to Islam, at the wedding of another friend (a revert to Islam whose long time girlfriend, who he had a kid with before becoming Muslim, also reverted to Islam along with their kid). I asked him how he came back to Islam (since it is the one and only faith sanctioned by the one and only creator) and he briefly told me his story which began with him waking up with his head in the toilet filled with blood he vomited out the night before after a night of binge drinking with some of his old friends. From what I recall he found out that he developed an ulcer because of his drinking habit and he decided he needed to clean up his life so that got him started looking for advice and a road map he could follow. If I recall correctly he didn't believe in Christianity especially after reading the biblical story of Hazrat Isa (Jesus) pbuh turning water into alcohol and after seeing how much pain it caused him as well as other problems he had with it and he eventually came across Islam and really liked the message and eventually decided to revert.
To me it seems that people are drinking alcohol to run away from their problems or generally escape a miserable existence otherwise why take it? Can't they have a good time without alcohol?
You said that on purpose when you knew it's haram. Actually you say a lot of things on purpose lol.
You are going to be think tanker soon in PDF for revealing me.
What I say is based on facts , not air bubbles. Alcohol is not declaired haram is Quran. Its highly discouraged in Quran but not strictly haram. Its Makrooh.
Quran does not use the word "prohibition" in the context of alcohol (khMr) anytime, anywhere. KhMr is the arabic term used for anything that causes intoxication. In other words, alcohol has not been categorized as "haram" in the Quran. Only three things have been categorized as "haram". These are (a) animals that die of any basis other than being sacrificed ("halal") in the name of Allah, (b) blood of animals and (c) flesh of pigs. As such the reasoning behind every one of these items being categorized as "haram" was medical, especially undercooked pork which causes triganosis. This perhaps is a different discussion altogether.
