It's funny how reb GUARD just pot-up rules tothis forum. I read thrrough most of them, and realized that he still left a few loopholes for posts like this......but a whole thread. Truthfully I don't drink, expect being yotzei the inyan of yayin on shabbos (so I drink enough to get inebriated.... the more controll I can have, the more I drink), but there may be a firm basis to promote 'good-old AA'
How about you rename this thread, "AA SA both from eitz hada'as" BTW acc. to the sitah in the gemara that it was grapes, chava got drunk, and then had relations with the nachash. No there is a direct correlation between these addicitons.
BTW. All I got tonight is kedem grape juice :'(
