Golf for most of us is a recreational sport. I have no problem drinking a beer or two while playing with friends, and family. A person recreates to have fun, and to relax from the tougher issues in life. If a little relaxaion, before stupidity sets in, effects one's handicap, then so be it. Myself, I shoot the same scores with, or with out a couple of beers

What I do have a problem with are players who over do it, or use illegal substances that impair their ability to drive a vehicle after a round. That, or cause other players problem during a round. Their golf handicap is a non issue as far as I am concerned. It's the danger they cause others that is my concern. 

Well said, for 99% of us, golf is a way to release stress and enjoy oneself. Unless competing on the professional level, what one puts in one's body shouldn't matter for handicaps. Driving under the influence is of course another story.
