IMO, excess alcohol makes even the smartest men and women stupid.
 
*Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino! *

Hilaire Belloc

Meaning: God created grapes, and natural fermentation will produce wine.

Wine, drunk moderately, is a good thing. Medical studies have proven that red wine, for example, can protect against heart disease for many.

ANYTHING done to excess can be harmful.

And stereotyping people by gender, especially to the detriment of one group and the elevation of another–is in poor taste, IMO.
 
Drink makes those who drink slightly, a little more relaxed and convivial.
It makes those who drink moderately, more fearless and less careful, and sometimes less polite.
It makes those who drink a lot, noisy and rude.
It makes those who drink far too much too fast, crazy and then unconscious.
This has nothing to do with men v. women.
Men can process alcohol about 1 1/2 times more efficiently than women for their size and a healthy man is about 10% heavier than a healthy woman. But men are more likely to be overweight, so really a man can usually handle a little less than double what a woman can. Women normally naturally compensate for this by drinking more slowly or ordering lighter drinks. Someone who is “loose” only when drinking is drinking too much and probably has a drinking problem. Alcohol in morderation just relaxes the normal personality, it doesn’t radically change it.

you are right & logical, U have spoken with all fairness, without carrying the air of preconcieved notion and having already passed subconciously your judgement of the question & the person

You are right like money, they say doesnt change a man, whats inside him just gets magnified
 
Excess alcohol makes everybody loose! Still, I have to agree with Belloc and with St. Paul: a little wine in moderation is good for you. Even a bit of bourbon and a good cigar can’t hurt.
 
I’m trying to figure out what this has to do with moral theology.

Almost sounds like the OP is trying to justify why its moral for men to drink and not women.
 
I don’t know about everyone else, or the statistics. But baby number 4 was conceived after a dinner with too many cocktails and wine!!?!?!??

I think the original quote is, ‘…men TIGHT and women loose.’ It’s just a play on words.
“Liquor - if you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life and inflames sinners, then I am against it.
BUT
If you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable portion that puts needed funds into the public coffers to comfort the under privileged, then I am for it.”

Does anyone know the author of this celebrated observation?

Ah, that makes more sense. But I don’t know the origin of it.

The quote I added has no connection with the other - it just seemed relevant.

And I don’t know the origin of either, either.
