Gambling is still more preferred to me than drinking, because gambling is for fun and we are not going to compare doing it to that of drinking, because when one gets drunk, they go out of their senses, which can also make them to misbehave at any point, but in gambling, you don't experience such, except you can't manage to take risk and precautionary measures, the two could be ideally accepted if done in a moderate manner.
I think what we should be interested in is what is going to give us more money not just deciding to drink without having additional way to make money. The gambling industry is big and we can always make profits when we know what we are doing and how to plan ourselves before fully gambling.
I don't find drinking and gambling a safe way for gamblers because there is possibility of misbehaving that could cause us loses if carr is not taken. When gambling, we ought to concentrate very well on ways and strategy to follow so we can make money from ourselves without going too far. The possibility of making money will be always there and drinking while gambling is not a good ethics.
